VILLAGE PEOPLE WITH SPEED CAMERA I THINK
Range Rover Blues:

The first photo is the officer who was not happy with my interest
The second photo is one I should not have taken apparently, as the photos were confidential even though he was situated in a Bus Stop....Where people congregate :?
Third photo is the safety partnership van that has blue lights behind the grill......Not sure but I thought only emergency response vehicles were allowed these :?
In general he was not happy at all having his photo taken, he asked for my camera and demanded my camera, I told him if he wanted it he would have to take it off me, he declined my offer :roll: ....I wonder why :roll:

Public domain, surely. And why is it these guys are allowed to park wherever they want? as an instructor I find it laughable that the 'safety partnershipo' van is parked in a bus stop/on a kerb/ ina cysle lane/at a junction/on a crossing. Mind you I'm a swine, if I see them parked up I like to park behind them :lol:
Seriously though, it's 30 for a reason, our road was built as a cul-de-sac and then opened up to thtough traffic some years after, so it's narrow but it's also everyones personal short-cut to save 0.05 seconds form their journery time. I've lost 2 mirrors this year on one car, one by a Tesco delivery van (and I never got the money :evil: ). It's not just yourng lads either, you should see the mum's taxis in the afternoon.

A letter to the Telegraph described the Danish system for speed cameras:
First you get the screen that tells you your speed if over limit
Then I think if you haven't slowed down you get a red light to stop you
Jump that and you get a ticket
Something like that
That sounds a much better system than ours but not as much revenue.
I don't mind speed limits
I try to obey them
But you can drift to 33 on good empty roads and then have to slow to 30 again
That's not really too awful in my view, regrettable but not awful.
Our system = prosecution
Danish system = Warning and then prosecution if you still don't act

Well, you could argue that the warning in this country is the round sign with "30" written in it. But I do see your point... around here (we're near the Transport Research Laboratory if that makes any difference) I see fewer speed cameras and a lot more of the flashing-sign things. They do seem to make a difference, but I'm not sure how long it will be before everybody is used to them and ignores them.
What DOES seem to work is the "average speed" systems they often seem to use in roadworks now.
You could modify our own system so that the first time you were caught, the computer sent out a warning, and only if you did it again would you be fined. But you could view those times when you've passed a speed camera and it hasn't flashed as your warning. :o
