  Tresbussing 31 Oct 2009 (Ask HJ)
  I know that you consider speed cameras are largely a means to raise extra income, so what is your opinion of bus lane cameras on pointless bus lanes? By...

  Mayor bumped off 27 Jun 2009 (Ask HJ)

• Hyundai i20 - Red light accident 24 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  The policeman said very lucky as if it had hit the driver door full on rather than the pillar between the front and rear door I might not have got away so lightly. My question is how do I find out if there are any traffic/cctv cameras to prove I was in the right? It's a junction I use regularly and have seen a few jump the lights before so can I find out how many accidents have occured and force the council to put in red light cameras so it doesn't happen again?
• Mercedes-benz CL500 Auto - Using trader plates to steal cars 24 Aug 2024 (Forum)
  But if a person who owns a trader plate covers the vehicle and drives off with it, then theirs no way to trace the car using the ANP cameras and other smart cameras on the road, or am I wrong? What can you do in this circumstance? I believe this person will ship it to another country. Is there any thing you can suggest that will help me trace and get my car park and to penalise the person who stole the car.
• Make + model + trim recommendation wanted 6 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  NOT via the display. 6. petrol, diesel, hybrid but NOT (solely) electric. 7. rear view camera 8. navigation system with live traffic (I prefer to NOT use Apple CarPlay, although I could probably use my phone as a wifi router if absolutely needed. I guess I'd need some sort of subscription - this is more convenient for me than using my phone.
• Honda Civic 2010 - I ran a red tempoary traffic light 3 Aug 2022 (Forum)
  I did it because in the heat of the moment I was p***ed off, it looked like they were just about to take down the traffic lights and I think I could see the guy manning the lights telling the guy at the front to go through the red. I'm like 90% sure the works have a permit, I'm not worried about getting caught by a "camera", I know full well the boxes on the traffic lights are not cameras, I'm more worried about one of the workers or motorists reporting me. That said if they do I take it they will also report the four other cars who went through the light.

• Renault kadjar - Garage mechanic tampering with dashcam 7 Mar 2021 (Forum)
  He drove back to garage and parked inside. An hour between videos so he must have temporarily disconnected battery and camera returned to normal. Knowing all this what advice would you give? I've a good mind to report this to his manager.  This is no cheap camera. Front and rear were installed with a separate battery pack.

• PCN when machine failed to produce ticket 4 Apr 2018 (Forum)
    Problem is - it is my word against theirs.  I have revisited the car park to check it.  In addition to the ANPR camera facing the entrance there are 2 other cameras there - 1 looking down on the machine and the other looking into the car park itself.  I feel that I should ask them to check the footage from these before proceeding any further.
