I just saw a scammer van in Central Milton Keynes trying to bust people on their way to work at 9:00am on the slowest roads in MK!

These are perfectly straight American style 2 lane 'boulevards' with 30mph limits. I have never seen anyone going faster than about 40mph on those roads, probably because all the surrounding roads are 70's so people are happy to slow down here. Also because there are traffic lights every two hundred yards....

When I first saw him i was coming from the other way and he was really visible but when i turned round to go through his scamera view I couldn't see him until i was right on top of him, and of course there were no warning signs, so i decided to go and put a sign up a few hundred yards in front of him.

The bugger moved on as i was setting up

I wonder if we could follow the scamera operators home and put signs up outside their house and get the locals to victimize them paedo register stylee ...

"Only doing my job mate" - I'd rather be a traffic warden.

I am wondering if they could put points on your license if you didn't have a car with you?

I think I probably know the answer...

You're all irresponsible SPEEDOPHILE CRIMINALS. You should drive everywhere at 30mph - it's the only safe speed. At 30mph you can drive into a chiwld and it will be just fine. At 30mph you'll never, ever, EVER have an accident either.

Drive at 30mph - and stop moaning about cameras. They're there to save lives, not make money.

Or something.

Sorry if I'm being thick, but should this be taken as sarcasm? The "or something" bit has thrown me? Ta.

My guess - the poster is a troll who has set up multiple accounts, one for and one against scameras. She is posting just to get a reaction out of us, just like 3 year olds who scream just to crave attention.
I give it 2 days until scumdaft has and arguemnt with spindrift (who are the same person I believe).
