Don't be daft. I heard they are the cure to global warming...

(which is also 'our' fault by the way)

Hi there,

actually these are radar detectors and the camera should sit on a small post next to it. They use them in Switzerland since a few month e.g between Lausanne and Geneva you have on 40 miles about 7 speed cameras ... u get used to it ...

[finger]

sorry to correct myself: it's one part of the radar unit which probably measures the mass of the metal passing to activate the radar and camera unit, as the system knows when a car or a truck passes (heard it on the local radio stations) ...

I'll be driving Lausanne-Genève-Lausanne next week again and will keep my eyes and camera ready. IMHO only the PoleScameras are there in use..but they're sneaky barstewards anyway in Vaud.
Apologies for any confuddlement, wearing my dunces cap atm!!!

While we're looking at Holland, they are not as pernicious as our worthy government.

They get fined for speeding, but no licence points...

That's only because with 7 million speeding tickets a year on a car parc of erm, 7 million, dishing out points would mean in no time there would hardly any motorists be on the road anymore to pay the fines the Treasurer has budgeted for...

Have you guys heard about the new camera's coming out, to be hidden inside cat's eyes FFS! The end is nigh. I'm going to buy an S-class, put it in cruise control and have a nap at the wheel from now on. What's is the fecking point of performance cars anymore.

uhm, not quite. Junior drivers do get penalty points. Besides that, plans are unfolding to copy the Britisch points scheme

Just at the right hight to take a sledge hammer to.

Hmmm, where is tht TUFF TUFF brigade?

I wonder how easy it would be to demolish one of these, get a big saw and cut the armco on both sides perhaps?

Ps. I'm not suggesting you should do it of course!

[cossiemetro]

at least they are easier to spray over being low down imagine the pics of the drivers face hitting the barrier lol...

It's Swiss tech and it is even getting worse... the recently (10th of January) banned all GPS devices which can warn you for speed cameras. For all you guys reading Dutch www.flitsservice.nl
