So, I was following a Streetview camera car in Chippenham...

..a few months a go..

Looks like Google maps Streetview has expanded coverage quite a bit of late..

They didn't blur your face ... oohh you could be cloned and have your identity ripped off, or something like that

Streetview is excellent for a bit of 'Spot my car' fun!

I hear they rolled-out pretty much the whole of the UK the other day, so check outside your house/place of work I guess.

I wonder how many people are snapped with 'inappropriate' passengers?

I was behind one in Reading. It didn't get me waving at it though as I pulled alongside it at the T-junction.

Either it is a one way road or your about to have a massive accident off camera

It may be a well-sighted bend but it does seem an odd place to off-side/cut the corner.

It is very well sighted, and my excuse is that I had just passed the parked car you can see in the background and rather than pull back in to the left and then have to turn immediately to the right (a wiggle basically) I would just carry on and drive smoothly and (as I could see clearly) safely. Is that a valid defence, Officer?

I can't post mine up, as I was actually at home cleaning the car when the Google StreetView camera car came past!

Hmm.. why have they blurred the speed notice on the road?

Oh I see. Would you care to take a sit in the back of my car sir! Cool saab too

MOH sent me an email with the Streetview of our house on this morning - was taken Summer last year as the trees outside the house were removed Autumn last year.

What was more amusing was the email I got 2 minutes later from one of MOH's colleagues - his house in Reading, with our car parked outside! (we live in Swindon). They had been car sharing whilst working in London last year, so I'm not suspecting foul play
