There is one in Denham as well, must have gone back and made sure because the tyre around it is only slightly burnt and there is plenty of molten rubber around the base of it...

Hughesie, is that the A412 as you head South in to Denham? That's a revenue earner if ever I knew one!

Yep, as you come from Maple Cross/Ricky...

There is a couple more i am waiting for people to do between Pinner and Harrow, Dual carriage way, 40 limit, one at either end...

Definitely a couple of revenue earners, slightly obscured by trees.

Funnily enough one has just been replaced after it was "knocked over"

They'll probably just put their talivan there now, ready to catch people coming over the hill on the 4-laned bit

Chepstow , south wales - On the A48 a short strech of dual carridgeway was recently reduced to 50mph , this section then leads onto a 60mph single lane .
Camera was sited at the end of the dual caridgeway until it was pulled down , all that sits there now is a lonely trafic cone ontop of a short grey stump .

What about a plastic bag/cover with "out of order" printed on it slip it over the top and I bet even the local plod would not question it. Just be someone elses job.

Act of terrorism on at least three counts

Act of terrorism on at least two counts

Life imprisonment, bank accounts frozen and disposal of your assets.

The mere threat of putting a bag over one also counts - life imprisonment.

If the powers want to turn nasty they have all they every dreamed of in the Terrorism Act 2000

Next one is the Civil Contigency Bill Sieg Heil Blunket is trying to push through. Gives him the complete set then, right to suspend peaceful protest, destruction of private property, or forced movement of population to another location. The bill also overules the ECHR Act

bluepolarbear I'd like to think you're joshing on these points, but I have a feeling there is an element of truth in what you are implying

Not joking at all - you may not like brunstrum but he is not stupid

The act states that

"an act of terrorism is any specified action, the use or threat of which is designed to influence any government or to intimidate the public in order to advance a political religious or ideological purpose"

Attemping to change 10 yrs of road traffic safety policy falls under that.

specified action is

"1) involve serious violence against a person,
2) cause serious damage to property,
3) endangers a person’s life (other than the person committing the act),
4) create a serious risk to the health or safety of the public
5)or are designed to interfere with or seriously disrupt an electronic system.

Fire bombing Gatso's is definetely 2 and it the climate of current Govn policy you have a strong argument for 3 and 4 for makeing the "safety" camera ineffective

It gets worse, as this BB has often shown support for the destruction of safety camera's and calls for a change in Govn Policy Sieg Heil Blunkett could under the act make Pistonheads a "proscribed" organisation. Doesn't require a court to do this just waves his hands.

As "members" of this now proscribed organisation we all get 10yrs, anyone encouraging support of the BB or meeting with anyone from the BB and one other (meeting defined as three people)also gets 10yrs

Before you rush to unsubscribe just wearing a pistonhead tshirt would get you 6 months for giving "resonable suspicion" that you support the aims of the BB.

None of this requires a court or burdon of prove (just suspicion) on the Govt.

Hawarden - Gladstone Way. The one on the old A550 just past the garden centre. Painted thick coat green last night. 1/4 mile from work - nothing to with me.
