Village Idiot

I was in my local pub Sunday afternoon having a few pints when a local coffin dodger decided to announce (very loud) to me that north Yorkshire does not have one single speed camera I said they have more than one and he had a hissy fit saying he would bet me ten whole English pounds that i am wrong.Now can someone prove me right or wrong roughly how many there is

Surely you could establish the answer to this connundrum via the use of an informative website dedicated to the purpose?

I'm not aware of any fixed cameras, but they own at least 1 mobile and usually put it out when there's a big event on at Croft Circuit (which is *just* inside North Yorkshire).

The had mobile cameras but not fixed cameras (unless it's changed recently).

Mobile, but no fixed. Mind you, if he didn't specify fixed, then claim your tenner.

Speed around the area for a while. Count how many times you have your picture taken. When the fine comes request the picture.

"Here a picture taken of me speeding"
"Oh, here's when i was doing 60 in a 40"
"This is a lovely one....etc etc etc"

You mean the Yorkshire forum? Or SP&L?

I was thinking about utilising a web based search engine such as Google. But perhaps Yorkshire is still using a 386 super computer and dial up connection?

North Yorkshire does not have a speed camera partnership, and has no fixed speed cameras. Speed enforcement is carried out only by the police. The accident history for North Yorkshire, when compared with areas that do have speed cameras, show that speed cameras have made no difference whatsoever to accidents in other areas.


Hmm Stokesley A172 Thirsk road

So it turns out he wasn't the village idiot.

Generally done by traffic police, who use judgement.
