• The Speed Camera Thread - Volume 40 30 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4530464.stm probably needs to be moved to a speed camera thread

• Ford Mondeo Titanium X 2.0TDCi 163 (2011) - Reversing Camera Fault 16 Mar 2015 (Forum)
  Hello, I've just bought a Mondeo with reversing camera and have noticed that the rear camera view displayed on the screen flickers and switches between a green screen, the radio display or map display. I've done some searching on the internet and the finger points towards water ingress.
• Inforad speed camera detector database update 18 May 2009 (Forum)
  Since loading the latest database onto my inforad unit, it has decided to notify (and alarm if I'm going too fast) where there are no cameras at all. For those people that don't know, Inforad notifies of fixed camera locations via GPS in exactly the same way a Sat Nav points of interest works. The only thing I can think is that the latest update now includes possible mobile camera locations as well.
• How we can eliminate speed cameras 10 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Interesting news this morning about the things people have done to avoid points/ban when caught on cameras. If they were burglars avoiding the law through perjury we would all be incensed about it. So why is this law different? One guy was talking about how there are now hundreds of people employed my speed camera partnerships, reliant on income from the cameras.
• Those sneaky little rascals down at Tom 20 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  ...Tom. I have a 910 and for a while it merrily bleeps away at every speed camera well in advance. The speed cameras were set as POIs. However, lo and behold, I update it yesterday and I've just noticed, it never beeped at the red light camera near my house. That was a little odd I thought - so I fiddled about with the POIs and not one camera is in there.
• The Speed Camera Thread - Volume 14 23 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  I have noticed that over the past week the direction and distance signs \'hiding\' the scameras on the A556 and the A5103 (just at end of M56) have been repositioned, so that the cameras can now clearly be seen. I guess that GMP are about to start reaping the rewards from these cameras. Shame about the one on the A556 going as it was always a laugh to race off against some joker in a souped up Nova at the lights just before the camera, get them over the limit, and then brake suddenly and watch them get flashed.
• Ford Focus - Skidding infront of Speed Camera 17 Feb 2016 (Forum)
      Hello, My car had skidded off the road infront of a speed camera. The speed limit was 50, I was doing about 60. I noticed the camera late and ended up skidding as a result of braking sharply. I don't know If I was caught by the camera as it was a "heart-in-mouth" moment and left shaken pretty badly.
• Speed Cameras 4 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  It is a database of all speed camera convictions, upon keying in a registration number, it returns with any applicable camera evidence, giving speed, date etc. It works because I entered our car's registration number and up came the offence when the other half went through the camera on the Toneway in Taunton @ 63mph in a 50mph zone.
• Speeding (mostly excl cameras) XI 28 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  If a camera speeding ticket is sent by ordinary post, could it be ignored? ie it wasn't received? Do they send reminders?
• The Speed Camera Thread - Volume 13 21 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  Are these cameras working or not? Every time I trundle thru at 40mph, seems loads of cars are doing 60-80mph?
• new camera visibility laws 3 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  for those who cant follow links, heres an intersting comments from the minister "We have chosen the colour yellow, and are permitting the use of reflective strips to maximise visibility. In time safety cameras across the country will be yellow. That consistency and the tightening of the rules on cameras being obscured and signposted should serve to give motorists plenty of warning that a camera is present."
• Toyota Aygo X - Poor visibility front camera 1 Dec 2024 (Forum)
  It's been raining heavy today and, as a new Aygo X owner, today the 'poor visibility front camera' warning light came up. I don't know what it means/do ??. I didn't even know it had a front camera!! What do I do? ??

• Government Cancelled Speed Camera Resear 15 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  Safe Speed has published its own report on the "side effects" of speed cameras, pointing out that neither road deaths nor the number of people taken to hospital after crashes had fallen as expected since the introduction of speed cameras. Safe Speed said the best estimate of the life-saving benefit of speed cameras stood at 25 lives a year and that if more lives than this are lost then the cameras were "increasing the death toll on British roads".
• Speed Camera Defence 6 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  An interesting post on a (the?) defence to a speed camera prosecution: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gatsos-uk/message/668 Any of the legal eagles got any comments?
• SPECS Camera Flaw 19 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Police chiefs were last night forced to urge drivers not to exploit the shortcoming by trying to evade the cameras. The flaw affects the controversial SPECS cameras. Unlike standard Gatso cameras which individually flash a car as it passes, these cameras measure a driver's average speed between two fixed points - which can be many miles apart.
• Speed cameras examined 28 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  Like the Hadecs 2, the Hadecs 3 cameras are painted an inconspicuous grey, rather than yellow, causing them to be branded ‘stealth’ cameras. (Critics seem to have forgotten that Hadecs 2 cameras are also grey.) They use a combination of radar and a system that monitors the variable speed limit applying at the time and alters the camera’s operating threshold.
• 70 mph speed cameras 14 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  Just over two weeks ago I was driving along the southern part of the M25 during the evening and saw a distinct speed camera flash in my mirrors while travelling at well over 80mph. I have never heard of speed cameras on gantries being set to enforce the 70mph limit; I assumed they were for lower limits due to traffic or roadworks.
• speed camera warning signs 31 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  do speed cameras still have to have the warning signs on the approach , i went past one today ( it was all grey and hard to notice until i was basically level with it) and i didnt see any camera warning signs as i approached, in fact there arent any cause i went by again to check, IIRC from speed awareness course the chap running it said they have to provide camera warning signs AND the speed limit on the particular road concerned displayed on the run up to the scamera is that still the case or have i been had?
