Unoffended

As a regular reader of your column, I am looking for some advice on a potential speeding offence. On the evening of 06APR2009, I was flashed by a fixed camera in what is now a 50mph area (was 60). My...

Limiting factor

I believe I may have been flashed by a forward facing traffic camera doing between 35-40mph today in an area, which I then found to be 30mph. The route is the A62 AKA Manchester Road in Oldham. I travelled...

Speedy gone solace

Reaction Direct

I read the other day that French drivers are so angry at the number of speed cameras that they now contact a website with details of NOIP's, pay a fee and then let a solicitor do a 'class action' which...
