• Council operated safety cameras 11 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  On my travels I often see council owned safety camera vans poised at the roadside ready to catch those exceeding the speed limit.

• Speeding - A Reminder 30 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  This message is to remind you all that there are two threads that are available for speeding discussions. One for speed camera discussions. The other for speeding, mostly excluding cameras. Mark and I would be grateful if you use these threads, rather than starting new ones each time.
