This explains.....not quite as bad as it seems.....

The camera is just 130mm in diameter, and can protrude from the surface by just 5mm; and it is linked to a computer that can read and decode number plates written in both italic and cursive scripts.

The idea is that you would use it in the approach to somewhere with a lower speed limit. The camera will look at each oncoming vehicle and measure its speed. Then you'll have illuminated road studs that will light up on the approach to a pedestrian crossing, say, and a sign that could light up with the number plate telling people to slow down.

The camera is a logical follow-on from Astucia's self-lighting road studs, now being trailed in Hampshire. These are intended to give motorists advance warning about traffic lights they might be unable to see due to fog or high-sided vehicles ahead. When the lights ahead were green, the studs would remain dark. But as the lights turned amber, so do the studs, flashing twice a second until the lights turn red. The studs marking the lanes would also flash.

Used in the US, the studs are claimed to have reduced accidents by 80 per cent. The tiny speed cameras would be the next step on the road to safety, and the Scottish Office is testing them in Motherwell.

Quote from article:

Richard Brunstrom has earned the nickname "the Mad Mullah of the Traffic Taliban" for his unstinting zeal on road safety issues.

That is just hilarious!

Was he (Brunstrom & Co) promoting road safety or retaliating to this:
a distinctive T-shirt worn by the motorcyclist, which mocked traffic police with the message: "P**s off and catch some real criminals."
or Both..?

North Waeles is a no go now for fast riding.

Four years ago I got a court appearance for doing 71mph on a dual carriageway (in a car) in north waeles. They wouldn't send me the 'evidence' that they'd got to me before the court hearing. The only 'evidence' they would release was a photo of the back of my car. Just the one..

In court, I found out how they'd guessed I was speeding. There was a video camera in the hedge, with a paki on the other end of it, timing people between two white marks on the road. How accurate is that?

The cats eyes are easy to get round. Just remove your numberplate before going out for a ride. And don't stop for coppers..

Yes, well. I know that I certainly wouldn't want my mother to see a picture of me after a high speed accident. That's pretty insensitive alright.

As for the speed limit. For the life of me I don't know why we don't raise it just a little and do what other countries do, which is to post the limit appropriate to the actual road. That is, if there is a segment of road and it's safe to do say, 110, then just post it. If it's not safe, then post it slower.

I know, that assumes people will obey the law. Which they don't of course, but I wish this govt would stop treating us like babies, and using us as cash cows.

:done:
