Just caught the tailend of this on BBC Breakfast News. A man in Knaresbourgh has built his own speed camera outside his house. It even has its own film!

You too can buy your own camera!

His name is Ray Allott and he sells the cameras!

So if I was going to my grandparents near Knaresborough and I swerved to avoid a doggie* and then hit his camera, I would be able to sue him for creating a road hazard.

The BIB on the news was very cagey about whether or not he would be charged with any offence for putting it up though!


* that's one of the reasons he put the camera up - along with 'lots' of near misses. However what was the dog doing out on the road without a lead and it's owner - shouldn't the dog's owner be fined?

Maybe Ted can ask Mr Allott to donate a camera for the BT&P raffle!
