• M25 Cameras 10 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  they had to wait). So im figuring, why am I worried when people were passing me? The cameras I mean are in Kent, I travelled from Dartford to Woking, so that stretch of road was the issue for me. I didn?t blast my way through roadwork areas, there were scores of cars going faster than me, I didn?
• Skoda Rapid Spaceback - A Double Offence 3 Sep 2018 (Forum)
  Does anyone know if I can be prosecuted if the camera saw that I went over the lines, or do they just detect speeding cars. Many Thanks
• More parking charges/cameras... 4 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  No-one to be found. This took perhaps 10 minutes. Still no idea of what to pay. *Then* I noticed the CCTV camera recording number plates, and the "Off-site monitoring" notice.... I decided to park elsewhere, so carefully *reversed* out of the car park. This'll be interesting. Will the approx. 15 minute stay count as "parking"?
• The Speed Camera Thread - Volume 28 9 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I'm pro speed cameras and police speed traps, but today I saw a rather stange choice of location. There is a village on a main A-road on my way to and from work which has a 30 limit. Loads of drivers ignore this and go through at 40, 50 or even 60 mph.
• Radar detector recommendations please. 7 Feb 2021 (Forum)
  Has anybody either purchased or seen one of theese GPS based speed camera/road information systems in action? I am thinking of buying one as I am rather worried about the the amount of my attention is taken up looking at my speedometer looking for speed cameras etc when driving in an unfamiliar area.
• Speeding - The pleasure of living in Essex 17 Nov 2016 (Forum)
  ref=ar Now that our "relief road" is fully open we have a fine new stock car racing track, as well as the high speed test track on the A12/A120 to add to the "Collection centre" at the Turner retail park. 50mph past the speed camera on mile end road, don't worry if y'all get "flashed", no road markings so camera useless.

• Long range SPECS to be deployed from Jan 2009 10 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Small article on the right hand side of P13 of today's DT: "Speed cameras which can track drivers for up to 30 miles are to be deployed on roads next year. The devices, which stop motorists dodging tickets by braking suddenly before a camera and then speeding up have been tested in London and Northern Ireland.
• EU wide speed fines? 17 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Driving to Gatwick yesterday along the A303 I was behind a Romanian registered car in a queue of traffic which was playing an interesting game. It couldn't go flat out, but every time he got to a speed camera he hung back to create a gap, and then floored it to set the camera off. Quite apart from the fact that this bloke was nailing it through accident blackspots, is there any likelihood that his misdiscretions will catch up with him down the line?
• Driving in Northern Ireland 17 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Not much traffic; great roads, many with long straights for easy overtaking; good driving habits (eg little or no tailgating, ditto aggression); fine scenery. No speed cameras (as far as I could tell), though a few camera warning signs. Didn't see a cop outside Belfast (though each town had its heavily fortified cop-shop), apart from what appeared to be one traffic patrol car on an emergency.
• Dirty Numberplate scam 2 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Whilst travelling up to Warrington from Surrey at the weekend, I noticed several cars (mostly BMWs) with very dirty rears, and unreadable numberplates. This is obviously a speed camera scam, but I was amazed that the police didn't stop any of them (the cars must have been in this state for some time) Are cameras able to pick-out the registration number when the plate is in this state, or do the police not care as it's just part of the numbers game?
• Worried about traffic light camera 8 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  I was stationery in the middle of a crossroads waiting for a gap. The cars in the opposite direction stopped when the red light came on. Rather than wait...
• Red + amber = ? 6 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  Most people begin to move off if the road is clear but is this an offence? I believe that traffic light cameras take one photo as a vehicle crosses the white line and another to determine that it actually crossed the junction or whatever, i.e. that it didn't make an emergency stop after crossing the line. What does the camera record if someone starts to cross on amber+red?
• 12 months for etc 10 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  I knew this fellow had been done for Dangerous Driving (and quite indefensible) what got me was the irony of being caught by his own camera, seeing as we spend most of our time avoiding HMG's cameras. A large poster advertising some Toyota or other has popped up in town recently, pictured is the aforementioned Toyota (can't remeber the model) parked by a Gatso being photographed, wonderful ironic advertising I thought.
