RE: Horse-Box Speed Camera
Discussion
Also in the London Rag, and with a comments box for those that can be arsed
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-2346992...
I see a lot of the comments on the BBC section are from those who have swallowed the Nu Labour line about speeding being evil. I wonder if those comments really came in those ratios, or whether the leftie w
rs at the beeb have been selective?

Almost all drivers think that everyone who drives slower than them is a numpty, and everyone faster than them is a maniac.rs at the beeb have been selective?"Speed kills" is therefore an easy thing to believe in, whether you are a driver or a politician. It's also very easy/cheap to enforce, compared to other causes of accidents.
Therefore speed enforcement happens.

This doesn't bother me other than.....
Speed cameras were supposed to be a deterent and be painted yellow and signed to make sure people slowed down for the dangerous areas...
The vehicle like many speed camera vans is parked too close to the highway for safety.
It is taking up a valuable lay by that could have been used legitimately by other road users.
At least if its a real horse box he will be up to his ankles in crap all day.

If a vehicle loses control approaching that contraption, the camera plod is a gonner.
How did they get that past Health & Safety and the police union...?
How is it any different to sitting in the back of a van, standing next to the road, or any of the other methods that have been in use for years? How did they get that past Health & Safety and the police union...?

Drive your car at speed into the rear of each...
Observe the damage to the van...
Observe the damage to the horsebox...
(you might need two cars)
I'd risk a little bet that the horsebox's state of knackeredness would be a fair bit more than that of the van...

Photo removed, sorry if it was a problem.
Could you please update your quote to remove them from that as well ?
ETA: About the emails, it is now enabled - I don't remember disabling them myself so maybe it's the default.
Oh, for crying out loud...Could you please update your quote to remove them from that as well ?

I trust he'll leave the pic in HIS post, as it's HIS pic....
Edit...in doing so, hasn't he passed copyright to PH under the new rules of posting?
Edit, edit...shouldn't it be the paper moaning, doesn't the paper own the copyright after buying it?

Well, bugger me with a soggy leek, I do believe you're right...Guam said:
he is fully entitled to do what he did and good for him, too much of this scanning of articles goes on imho. Arent the publishers and Photogs entitled to be paid for their work now?
Yes, but this is a mutual help setup. There are plenty of lawyers, doctors, accountants and traders on here who offer advice free to members....
Moaning about a picture is a bit mean, particularly when the newpaper's website offers up a free video that makes the picture insignificant in the greater scheme of things.

Dont see how him, protecting his copyright is any different to anyone else on here wanting to protect their rights to drive THEIR cars in a sensible manner or are we saying only SOME of us have any rights?

I could have bought a copy of the pic in a newspaper for 50p, and I've already offered him 50p for the pic on here, so what's the problem?
You're not really into the spirit of help and co-operation that's made this site so good, are you?
