• M4 Jnc 24, Black pods on gantry?? 20 Dec 2015 (Forum)
  Noticed recently on the M4 J24 (Coldra) Westbound, that there are black pods like Hair dryers over looking each of the 3 lane from the gantry. Currently there are no camera's on this gantry as we know them, but gantry before has large grey boxed cameras. But heard rumours of this stretch East and West bound are to become 'Average Speed coverage) as in Port Talbot area.
• Driving without lights 16 Oct 2015 (Forum)
  It was dusk when I was driving but the street lights had not yet come on as there was still some light.I did not have my lights on though most of the other cars had. As I approached a signal noticed that a red light had come on one of the mounted cameras which disappeared after I switched on my headlights. What does it mean? 2. Any idea how often people get penalized for driving without lights which are identified by a camera?

• Warning for drivers visiting Cambridge 31 Jan 2015 (Forum)
  Plethora of fixed speed cameras, they are in operation. In comparison, the whole of Suffolk has just one or two. Also, keep out of bus lanes. Cameras are functioning. If you are visiting it is best to 'Park and ride'.
• Any - Forgot to Display Tax Disc 9 Sep 2012 (Forum)
  Oh dear, had new tax disc a fortnight and today I forgot to put it on.  I was in town and have gone past a camera that  I think checks for tax dodgers and I was also parked on street.  I read where traffic wardens can fine you the same as a parking fine and nothing has happened with that.  I was just wondering if anything could happen via the camera.
• A subject to divide the back room? 9 May 2008 (Forum)
  Passenger moons at speed camera... One for the high moral finger waggers here to get hot under the collar about and also one for the anti-camera fraternity to applaud. Who will win out? The attached has a very blurred image of the mooning taking place so if you think you might possibly throw a wobbly at this sight then don't click, but the BBC think it's OK http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/7378695.stm
• Gatso's and Road Markings 16 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  There a 3 new style Gatsos, (the ones with smaller head units), between J18 and J19 of the M4 in the roadworks. For each camera, lanes 2 and 3 have white lines marked but lane 1 does not. BTW, these cameras are linked via satellite to somewhere, judging by the large dish next to them, and I'm pretty convinced they are operational as I've them flash (not at me I hasten to add!).
• New number plates 25 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  DA51 DEL could be easily mistaken for D451 DEL, couldn't it ?? There are many examples like this but can cameras or the general public distinguish these at a distance ? Why isn't there a space between the first 4 characters such as DA 51 DEL - surely it's obvious ??? Also.... Is it true that digital cameras can't read number plates as on Motorbikes where the first few characters are directly above the second set ?
