"It was a symbolic start because the bin was put on the spot where 16 years ago two young female friends died when they were hit by a drunk driver’s speeding car."
a speed camera in a bin wont stop a drunk driver
edit: I thought cameras had to by law be painted a bright and obvious colour? which is why hadecs cameras had to be repainted from grey?

Haven't you come across 'builders van', horse box' and 'tractor' mounted speed cameras? They've all been operated in the UK.
Yes, but they are all attended (and several feet off the ground). Where does the operator go in this wheelie bin?Dogwatch said:

If speed camera wheelie bins are ever used officially to enforce speed limits in the UK I will happily donate £500 to a charity of the OPs choice.
Yeah make sure it's bin collection day and push out to the roadside for normal collection.They did trial one many years ago in Merrow, Guildford.
Fitted in a yellow Grit Bin - clever use of some spray paint sorted that out .
You can pretty much set your watch by how many times bin cameras and that other favourite - armco barrier cameras - crop up on here.
Next up, manufacturers who want to block modifications by making cars with bonnets that don't open! The EU planning to make cars illegal to drive without at least two people inside!
