I wish! Its on the 18th. Got a back problem due to walking differently now (trapped nerve or something) - so im flying high until then

Anyway - back to the thread at hand - I believe that I was right and everyone else was wrong or something?

Codine Phosphate - ooooo The camera van has recording equipment does it not? Surely it can record the vehicle doing 30 on a NSL 70 and it would CERTAINLY have caught the cars having to take evasive manuvoures coming over the brow of the hill...

Would only record vehicles exceeding the limit.

Shouldnt something moving that slow in those conditions need orange flashing lights by law just out of interest?

No mate. By rights, HGVs should be doing 40mph in a 60mph zone also...

Good point, but even so as we are in the anal days of PC terminology, shouldnt the van be called a SPEED camera van and not SAFETY as it does not measure SAFETY in any form nor contribute to anything other than the measure of EXCESS SPEED?
