Recently photographed allegedly doing 43mph on a 30mph road.  This is the
first time that I have been photographed by a speed camera and there are a
few things that I am pondering.  Firstly, the camera flash went off twice in
quick succession and I was sure it had photographed ...

Ah yes........the M8, I can barely recall a drive from Glasgow to
Edinburgh or Edinburgh to Glasgow in the last 5 years where I've not
encountered roadworks.
This weekend, we have the joys of being down to one lane each way

I understand that those bastards at "safetycameras" have developed a machine
that  If you are caught speeding can look back at previous actions on the
same road so If you are caught on the A48 look back at up to 3 years on the
same road so that if you are caught speeding once can be ...

The frame of the car would be heavily reinforced. All lights would be sunk
slightly to avoid damage on impact. The car would be very hard to damage

I put the satnav in our Zafira the other day and f.ck me, at 60, 70, 80
and 90 (the speeds I checked at) both the GPS and the speedo were
showing the same figure!
In the Peugeot, the speedo is out by 8mph at 90...

For all you lot who bang on about how easy it is and for those who want
to have a go for curiosity, here's your chance to do it without it
costing you £100....
Truck Driving Charity Day. All proceeds to Hope and Aid Direct.

earlyish start due to the tide times, we wanted to be on crosby beach
before 12 mid day but due to a wrong turn (even happens to me*) and
several comfort breaks for the mrs we arrived a bit late. the planned
walk on the beach didn't happen due to the 50, gusting to 70 mph winds.

What Chief Inspector Hayden Roberts of GMP fails to point out when he
talks of the serious offence when someobody speeds pass his 'safety'
camera, is that his own officers and the speed camera partnerships all
routinely exceed the limit without fear of prosecution, without a care

Bought a Nuvi 310 about three weeks ago. Been working perfectly but, within
the last few days, an annoying problem has arisen in that the 'final
instruction' of 'turn left' or 'turn right' is given too early.

The northbound carriageway of the M6 motorway has been closed after a
