I don't recall voting monster raving loony, but it rather seems that's what we ended up with. You can only imagine most of this bunch were bullied to the point of bed-wetting at Harrow and are taking it out on the country as a whole due to their inability to face their tormentors directly.

That's going to be a very nice little earner then. Expect more pointless traps in otherwise safe locations.

Jeez utter bonkers.
SWMBO can do the driving she doesn't work or earn
Has scope to be a bit unfair I think, I get fined thousands and someone on benefits loses what? for the same offence?

It looks like I shall need to spend a lot more time looking at the speedo and a lot less time looking where I'm going then.

Or invest in devices that make you more aware of their locations.
I think the Cyclops (possibly used by TomTom as well) speed camera alert community is quite good as it provides up to date and live alerts for Scamera vans etc.

Adaptive Cruise Control is going to be a boon from now on. Set the speed and the separation distance and chill. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

I don't like it, it's a very common scheme elsewhere in the world though and does make a degree of sense, it punishes at an appropriate level per person.
I assume though you'll still get a fixed penalty option in a lot of cases, so you won't end up in front of a magistrate unless driving like a loon or also being done for other offences like insuranceSill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

Lets hope my speedo under reads by a few MPH When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. All of the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you are stupid.
