• Honda CR-V - HOnda (UK) parts prices - reversing camera 23 May 2025 (Forum)
  So my 18 plate CR-V exec 1.5 turbo needs a new reversing camera - well that's ok surely it cant cost much ... Generic ones are about £65 but not one there for my year so went to dealer (Vertu Honda Grantham) Thank you sir that would be £1611.22 I suspect Honda (UK) are possibly inflating parts prices for newer cars as they have a monopoly with OEM parts.......
• All - A12 - look out...Greed Cameras about. 5 Feb 2015 (Forum)
  Just to let you know that from 9th Feb they will be installing Average Speed Camera's on the A12. I believe it's the Witham bypass section. They are already fitting them between Colchester and Ipswich and I believe some are installed the other end near M25/Brentwood. Frankly my experience of the ASC on the A127 means I find this prospect simply terrifying.
• FIAT Grande Punto - punto ?electrical problem with speed camera? 1 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  Both events happened where roadworks have been in place for 1 month and there are yellow overhead 'average' speed cameras. Is it interference of some sort? is it just coincidence? does anyone know what the cause is? the garage suggest it is an electrical problem but tell me they can't identify the problem. any advice much appreciated.
• Speed warnings don't work, says TRRL 8 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  I hope, though, that these devices are not scrapped, because they would still serve a useful purpose if combined with a camera. Someone still speeding after passing one of these warning signs would have no excuse when caught on camera.
• Illegal speed camera trap? 31 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I regularly commute to work along the A14 from Bury St Edmunds towards Cambridge. Over the past 12 months I 've noticed quite frequently a Suffolk mobile camera van. It's parked on the grass verge inches from the nearside lane on the Eastbound carriageway just before the Rowley Mile service station (that's about 1 mile before the junction with the A142).
• Red light camera question 21 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Coming off Broomfield Rd in Chelmsford in to Parkway (we are going on this road all the time) we were flashed by the red light camera at 6.00am passing the junction in amber. I am a regular driver on this road and never seen this flashing in amber before. My question is what kind of fine I should expect. I am driving with my international license (Non-EU) and have my provisional since April and booked to take my practical in October.
• Speeding (mostly excl cameras) XVI 25 May 2004 (Forum)
  Assuming I was speeding (safe bet), what are the penalties in Germany for an offence committed in March? I have no idea how fast I was going (didn't see a camera, and was unaware of a speed limit on that bit of motorway). To date, I've been charged 23 euros, which I suspect is just Hertz's admin fee for telling me I've been a naughty boy. Anyone else been done like this?
• Advice on tyre alignment 2 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Being ignorant on these matters I presume that the £35 job does exactly the same as the £140 one (except doesn't use BM cameras!). I also take it that a perfectly good job can be done without the aid of cameras.

• traffic islands 25 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Just as the road straightens out a whole line of the things have sprouted making everyone travel in convoy at the speed of the slowest.In combination with speed cameras it appears that overtaking is seen as anti social behaviour and to be prevented. Perhaps they will bring in the modern equivalent of a man with a red flag in front of cars. Come to think of it they have - speed cameras.
• You're on TV, Baby 8 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  The Back Seat Video Baby Monitor allows you to keep an eye on the baby in the back without turning around. The device comprises a small video camera mounted on the head restraint and a 2.5in screen attached to the dashboard. In daylight the image is in colour and at night the camera uses infra-red sensors to provide a mono picture?. Discuss?
• No leniency from the bench 2 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  id=66883&db=1 A 6 month ban seemed fairly harsh for the offence that tipped him over the edge. I suspect that he will not be voting for additional cameras if it comes up for debate in the future. As an aside, I wonder in days gone by before cameras, if the local MP had been stopped by a real policeman whether the same result would have ensued.

  Did your correspondent really get caught driving at 54mph in a 50mph limit? 6 Feb 2012 (Ask HJ)
  I find it hard to believe that your correspondent ES was caught doing 54mph in a 50mph zone, as the leeway guidelines are 10 per cent plus 2mph, i.e. 57mph....
• A Challenge to Essex Police 21 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  After all, if all motorists knew where all cameras were, there would be no camera revenue! I have attached a long list of the ways that the existence of speed cameras can affect driver behaviour adversely. Will you accept that many, if not most or even all, of these factors can indeed lead to the results we are now seeing?
