True but does anyone honestly believe any of the other parties are any better? I'm afraid they are all as bad as each other and voting for a new Government will not change the status quo one iota.

it's not so much axeing them as swindon did but simply not getting any new 'fixed' cams or replacing them. well, other than replacing them with specs instead - which, last time i checked, are fixed in a single position anyway to be honest though, specs are the only speed cameras that seem to have any real effect anyway - you can;t just slow down for 2 seconds then accelerate again!

Come to think of it, "Parties" is a pretty good name for them - Cheese and Wine, Garden, Lakeside, Housewarming, Second House Housewarming, Duckhousewarming, you name it, and all on expenses!

One could argue that is is reasonable to give the "TV" to the kids in the back whilst driving down the motorway. I have been out in Hong...

The Daily Telegraph's motoring section had a similar case a few years ago. It turned out that the emergency vehicle was an unmarked police car from another force so the local police had no knowledge of it and its blue lights did not show on the Red Light Camera image (though there was no mention of it being booked?). He eventually managed to idnetify it and get charges dropped. One suggestion was in such a case to report it to a police...

Incredibly dangerous as many have said, why would you want a tv on your dashboard, utter lunacy! I would also prefer to have higher quality useful nav features, fewer bugs and more up to date maps before we get all these extra nonsense features.
