• Beige box mystery 19 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Hope I haven't done the wrong thing here, DD, but I didn't want this to get lost in the speed camera thread - it's a bit of a specific request. Saturday's Telegraph has just penetrated this part of SW France and Honest John has a letter from a guy who has spotted a lot of beige coloured plastic boxes mounted a couple of feet above the ground beside French autoroutes and he thinks they are speed cameras.
• New slant on road safety 18 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  I am a bit surprised to find none of the many knowledgeable contributers to this site has seen fit to comment on the proposed change of emphasis to speed camera fines. My understanding from various reports is that in future money gathered from camera fines will be used to finance other types of safety gadgets, like flashing lights, yet more road signs etc.
• speeding penalties 25 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  Hi I am new here and really need some advice. I was going over the severn bridge last weekend and drove through a speed camera (police camera van on the bridge) I was doing about 80-85 in a new 50 zone and I have not had anything from dvla yet. I am really worried that I will be banned from this but cant find any details on penalties that are current on the web (not that great at searching to be honest!)
• Expenditure on the A1(M) Yorkshire 27 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  All well and good but there are a heck of a lot of matrix signs now erected, with induction loops in the tarmac, but also now columns are being installed for cameras as well. Traffic flow monitoring cameras I hope, but I question why this is all necessary. It's never that busy, not even on bank holidays. It slows down a bit around Wetherby on a Friday night, but that will be taken care of when the new section opens.

• Who keeps the negatives? 17 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  I refer to the originals of the speed camera photos. And when they go full frontal, where will they be stored, by whom and will the offender be able to reclaim them?
• Review: Nextbase 612GW Elite dashcam 26 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  As with all cameras what happens when it rains? You cannot place it in the windscreen wiped areas as this obstructs the view. Dickie

• All - Crash for cash 20 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  Without an independent witness, that actually saw the crook flash their lights, it becomes the standard he said, she said scenario. Given that so many cars are now having front and rear parking cameras fitted as either standard or an option, isn't it about time these became duel purpose? Why can't these expensive bits of technology also become driving cameras, running on a continuous loop and protecting drivers from these crooks, as well as being a very valuable tool to those investigating 'genuine' accidents and incidents?

• Why hasn't it been done. 21 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  I know there is a thread on here about unique features in cars, but I thought perhaps there is scope for a "Why hasn't it been done?" thread too... For me it is cameras and screens instead of wing mirrors? Surely BMW or Mercedes should have done this by now, lop off the wing mirrors to make the car look nice and sleek and instead mount tiny cameras in their place feeding back to small screens on each pillar.
