• M25 variable speed imits & cameras 3 Jan 2003 (Forum)

• Digital camera for the glove pocket 5 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Lloyds pharmacies are flogging off a Halina digital camera at £9.99 with all the bits. Cheaper than a throwaway film camera, even if it is only a 640 x 480 pixel picture. Good enough for the purpose. The camera spec is at http://tinyurl.com/buo5e and the Home page has a branch finder.
• Paired speed cameras more effective? 6 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  A lot of villages on main roads in our area have speed cameras. Locals who know the road tend to ignore the 30 limits, braking for the cameras and then accelerating away from them. But one village I've been going through recently has two cameras, one about one third of the way through, the other two-thirds.

• Traffic Cameras 17 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  We keep being told speed cameras are safety cameras in places which warrant safer driving. And that they are not revenue raising. Well if that's the case, why don't the government introduce countdown markers leading up to them, thus preventing sudden breaking, and making drivers aware that the cameras are being approached.

• Cameras on M4 this morning 7 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Between junction 16 (Swindon) and Jct 15 (Marlborough) on a bridge over the motorway. One camera per lane - cameras on tripods. Are these for catching people with tax and/or MOT or something else?
• What are these cameras for?! 20 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  They look a little like the SPECS cameras (ie there is one camera per lane) though smaller, only one set, painted black, and lower to the ground. I have a deep distrust about any sort of cameras so stick to the limit when passing these just in case.

  But he said the police have diminishing influence in local camera safety partnerships, which oversee speed camera use but also include council and health representatives. Scotland’s most lucrative mobile camera site is the A9 Edinburgh to Perth Road, on the northern outskirts of Dunblane, where it crosses Allan Water.

• "Speed cameras may cause crashes" - discuss... 27 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/legal-motoring-advice/2018-06/inventor-threatened-with-jail-for-inflatable-speed-camera/  Note the comment in the first paragraph that a (fake) camera  "causing danger to other road users" could lead to a seven year jail sentence. I can't help wondering, by this logic, how many real speed cameras may equally have "caused" a crash; not to mention the "real/fake" cameras of year gone by (the ones that local auhorities couldn't afford to load with film, meaning that several fake cameras were deliberately dotted around the country.)
• speed cameras 20 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  In my area of Bournemouth/Christchurch practically every camera is at a spot which has not had serious accidents if any. I tackled my local camera Stasi and they absolutely refused to answer my question of how many deaths had happened at certain camera locations.

• Review: Anker Roav dash camera 12 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  "One of the most useful features is the camera's parking, which switched the camera on the moment the built-in G sensor detects an impact" Is there a typo here ? I just cannot understand this sentence at all.
