• Speeding ticket in EU reg car? 28 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  Hi Can the UK police / DVLA pursue speeding tickets from 'safety cameras' when they flash a car from another EU country? Are they able to hold a driver until they pay a fine like the french if plod pulls them in person? I am specifically thinking of a German reg car.
• How long to get licence back? 9 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  As some will know I got nabbed by a camera at a traffic light for alledgedly jumping a red signal. I took advice, did not contest it, paid £60 and posted off my licence. This was two weeks ago now. How long is it reasonable to wait for its return (with the 3 points added)?
• Insurance and penalty points 6 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Surely once you have 3 or 6 points from speed cameras ( for like 34mph in a 30 limit ....) you are a safer driver than before? Because you'll drive a bit more carefully, So why the extra insurance premium? Are there any insurance companies out there targeting this market?
• Anyone used Cyclops DSafety system? 6 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Apologies if this may have been covered before, but I was just wondering whether anyone has had much experience of using the Cyclops GPS-based Driver Safety system? It appears to be a new way of "discovering" speed cameras and is all above board. Does it do the job well and realistically? Thanks. RB
• Big brother on the M3? 17 Jan 2002 (Forum)
  Arrgh! Does anyone know what those cameras are for on the M3 southbound at Winchester? One set just before the junction, one set on the junction (pointing back down the slip road) and one set approx. 200m after the junction. I was going a little fast - a momentary lack of concentration (does this sound familiar?).

• Ford Focus III (2008 - ) - 09 1.6 Audio Unit 16 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  In the Handbook (8M2J-19C 104-DA 05/08) there are 9 audio units displayed on page 4,5 but none represents the one in my car and there is no indication of any model/name anywhere on the unit. 1.Does anyone know what it is and how to find a correct manual? 2. Before, I used a Tom Tom 500 with speed camera detection program, but I don?t want to carry the bulky TT500 around anymore, could I use the same SD card in the Ford?s navigation system? 3. Or, will I be able to install a Speed Camera Detection program to the Ford SD card, which came with the car?

• Dealing with speed traps - GPS gadgets? 15 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Always on a busy dual carridge way rather than near a school, and always when your going down hill. Anyway.....I have TOMTOM5 on my pda with the camera database on it but I only tend to plug that in when doing on a long journey or a new place. Most of my journeys are in the local area. Therefore I am looking for some sort of GPS gadget that will alert when I break the limit.
• The irony of it... 19 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  On my way between here (Hemel Hempstead) and my girlfriend's house near Oundle a week ago last Saturday, I was using the "scenic" route that consists, roughly, of M1, Olney, Wellingborough, Thrapston. As I left the latter, heading north, I noticed a mobile speed camera van parked on the verge on my right, back towards south-bound traffic. I'm normally pretty comfortable about obeying speed limits and my first thought was for the unfortunate guy hurtling south towards me and the camera.
