VILLAGE PEOPLE WITH SPEED CAMERA I THINK

<< < (3/8) > >>

andyhubbard:
I thought trying to impersonate a police officer was an offence,anyway if they take your reg number isn't that against data protection :?: ,(i think this one will be here for a while)

There's one of those fake gatsos in a village here. They've had to re-erect it once due to some people taking offence and pulling it down. Complaints were made to the police as it was causing people who didn't know it was there to hit the anchors, whether they were within the speed limit or not.

It now has bird feeders hanging off it.

Hi,

what it is is a community speed watch scheme and i do this in my village.

i live on a road that is a rat run for commuters wanting to miss the A453.  i have concrete bollards  outside my house on the edge of the pavement to stop the morons driving on the pavement instead of the road.  these were put there after a child was killed walking on the pavement by a car driver who decided that driving on the pavement was better than waiting for a space to get thru.

it is a 30 zone - in 1 1/2 hours we have noted 20 cars going over 40.  every time we have to cross the road (my sister in law & kids live across the road and we take it in turns to take the kids to school) we literally take our lives in our hands due to the speed of the vehicles.  

nearly every vehicle that parks on this road has been damaged by the cars and buses that speed down it - and surprise surprise - no one ever stops to let you know.  one classic was my sister in law had a policeman come to her house and said that he was following a car which broadsided her car and continued driving.  her car was damaged - but the car that hit her not only had to pay for her car (so he should) but also got done for failing to stop!

if you don't speed - you don't get caught.  we are not killjoys - we are only trying to make our kids safe.

hi

forgot to mention - regos get sent to police and you get a letter from them telling you that you were caught by community speedwatch, no fine but a request to slow down next time

regards

To many goodie too shoes about for my liking

Were you breaking the speed limit? If so those "goody too shoes" are probably fed up to the back teeth with folk like you endangering their lives with excess speed, and have decided to do something about it. Next time it will be the police if the locals prove enough speeders go through at certain times of the day. Take it as a warning and slow down.

If you were not speeding why worry?

Mike
