• Aids to avoiding speed cameras counter productive? 3 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  However, I have just bought an easier to use Sat Nav (Garmin Nuvi 250) to replace an older more complex Pocket PC type. But it has an unwanted (presumably UK only) POI Camera database........ I am considering this though. While I can understand its application for anyone who tends to be over the limit, what is opinion on using the camera alert option amongst those who generally stick to the limits?
• The Speed Camera Thread - Volume 27 7 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  On the other hand, if she has collected that many FPNs in a short space of time, what is she thinking of when she is driving? Speed cameras are usually well sighted and visable, as are speed limits. The vast majority of people, whilst they may not be considered great drivers, are capable of adhering to speeds in built up areas, especially with bightly labelled cameras.
• Speed Cameras/Cloned cars 7 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  I raised a topic of Speed Cameras on 16 Jul about my car going through a speed camera when I and car were hundreds of miles away. I got some interesting replies suggesting 'cloning' was widespread. I wrote to police and asked for evidence etc.
• Volvo EX30 - CCTV 16 Jun 2024 (Forum)
  Curious to know what kind of CCTV camera or camera is this, on this street here, you'll see it on the lampost by the road going to the left.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/5V8hV7dHah6CgoQd9?g_st=ac

• Speed on the M4 25 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Not speeding, necessarily (or cameras, come to that). This arrived in my in-box today. I assume it is correct? "Those new electronic signs on the M4 were switched on this Tuesday. The bad news is that they are rigged with the SPECS speed cameras.
• MOBILE PHONE DETECTION CAMERAS 14 May 2022 (Forum)
  Been reading a lot of guff on the internet about camera detection that can spot people using their mobile phones and take a birds eye view, currently used in Australia. The RAC website however stated on 22 Mar 22 that these cannot be used at the moment as the law has to be changed.
• Cameras 28 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  There's a decent demographic of folks on here so I thought I would seek opinions: Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent camera? I had a crap Vivitar, but my phone outdoes that, but the phone is very basic.  I'm not after anything fancy (no SLRs) as most of my pics will be of Mr Bobbin when he is sunburned and probably some archaeology.

• Speed Cameras 8 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  It is obviously more dangerous to speed during the day when a road is busy during the day than it is at night when deserted. I triggered a speed camera 21 days ago and no NIP so I think I have got away with it. It was at night on an empty road,;maybe it simply had no film in it. A friend recently triggered one at 2am again on an empty road and he was not prosecuted.
• Saw my first DVLA tax camera today - on the A77 6 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  Certainly my first, on the A77 Ayr bypass, in the layby just north of where the road crosses the River Ayr. Silver Vauxhall Astra estate, well marked, with red LED sign saying what it was. Camera on a tripod just behind the car. Wish we could do a poll on this forum - it would give an idea of how common these are.
• Speeding (mostly excl cameras) XXII 1 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0922042speed1.html I\'m surprised at the measured speed as I didn\'t think \'Blades were capable of it, but I guess when you\'re being this blatant, the exact speed becomes irrelevant! Mods - decided not to post in Speed Cameras thread, because it\'s not exactly that subject. {It\'s related to speeding, so off it goes. Kick. DD}
• Cameras Without Lines 16 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  Over the past few months I have come across a number of new speed cameras which do not have the familiar distance-marking lines painted on the road. I am intrigued to know whether:- They are not yet commissioned OR They are dummies OR They are a new type which do not require lines but just register the speed of the passing vehicle.
• Italy - redlight camera scam 1 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  The idea that there is a conspiracy to rip off motorists is a recurring theme in the BR. In this case there was no room for doubt - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7862893.stm
