Congratulations Worthing Plod
Discussion
At about 06h00 this morning they and their scamera wise guys managed to catch the most heinous of criminals. A criminal so bad it, the crime warrants an immediate double punishment followed by years of punitive punishment via insurance companies etc !!!!! I was one of 2 cars on the road, 40 zone changing to dual carriageway noational speed limit road when off went the flash. I was not even doing 50 indicated as I was accelerating towards the dual carriage way. Why oh why do the plods insist on scameras, surely it makes more sense to have plods out patrolling, however at thattime in the morning they are more than likely tucked up nicely in bed dreaming of their next Xmas bonus sponsored by UK drivers.

Here we go again... SCP not police. different part of the system. Its also a speed camera so fixed site. So that means its always there. We are on duty 24 hours a day and unlike you get no bonuses at christmas, the fines from cameras go back to cameras and the govenrment.
Personaly if you miss a yellow speed camera then your not paying attention. What else could you have missed?

Were you driving with your eyes shut past the bright yellow box? If there's no other traffic on the road then what were you distracted by that took your observation away from teh road and it's hazards?
Hard lines fella, just remember next time to check around you for "dangers" before giving teh fun-pedal a squirt.
PS It's not BiB that you should moan about, it's scamera pratnerships.

If your driving and looking ahead you should be able to see said boxes, Its worth checking pavements people can step off them.
If you drive the road a lot then its even more important to pay attention as many accidents happen on roads your familiar with due to complacency.
SCP's have police working within them due to the RTA requirements however they are not the police. If it helps an officer I know is about to be disqualified from driving for passing a SCP in a van in a marked vehicle. He did see it just as usual a little late. Had you missed a van thats different they are often at the edge of your view.

Must admit if he drives the route regularly then he should know where the fixed cameras are which make the fact he was caught even worse.If your driving and looking ahead you should be able to see said boxes, Its worth checking pavements people can step off them.

Personally I have always founf the Sussex Camera Partnership to be quite reasonable with their camera locations. In my home town we have a mobile site outside a school and the fixed camera is just after the speed limit turns from 30 to 40, rather than being just before it.
I regularly drive the M23 upto the M25, and although I don't often see marked cars, I regularly see unmarked ones having pulled people over.
