• Dangerous Drivers School Channel 5 28 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  Enough should be enough with some people, the DVLA should be able to watch that and just remove licences from these people. No if, no but, they may 'change' on camera but give it a week and they'll be back to normal. Its a shame they wont be forcefully removed from the road until they kill someone.

• The future's looking bleak 14 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  No problem I thought, the place of my birth has many convenient side roads in which to park so I dropped Mrs V. off and went off to park with the kids. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Cars, everywhere, no entry signs, one way streets, speed cameras, road humps, bus lane cameras, worst of all, street after street of residents only parking zones, temptingly devoid of all but a few vehicles. Not being a wanton lawbreaker though, I drove around for about 20 minutes searching for somewhere to park.
• Bad driving LGV, report?? 8 May 2010 (Forum)
  He then tears past the last camera probably on his 56mph limiter. My partner wished to return to compliment so once out of the restriction I drew alongside in lane 2 to allow her to do this. (yes we know two wrongs don't make a right and all that!).
• Big Brother Speed Limiters 10 Apr 2003 (Forum)

• TFL ULEZ charges 8 Nov 2024 (Forum)
    You hear these stories of cloning number plates - is it possible to find out from TFL what days I have been charged for driving in the ULEZ, and where the cameras picked me up?  And, if so, is this via a some sort of Data Protection Act Subject Access Request or is there another procedure?   TIA Mark
• Hyundai Bayon - Repeater light confusion 30 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  So what if you went through the primary light on green or orange but then just before you get to the repeater light, it turns red. Do you have to stop? No traffic light cameras or anything but this is confusing to me. As you can see on the map of the location, there is a stop line at the repeater light which indicates you should stop...? However, as you can also see there is traffic turning into the road from the right and obviously they don't have to stop.
• Parking on your own street 15 Jul 2023 (Forum)
  ocid=msedgntp&cvid=77cb5b8f23a4414faa82a912ea961fc8&ei=12">People face ‘outrageous’ £100 fines for parking on their own street (msn.com)  This is the second instance of councils restricting car owners I have read in two days.  In Cardiff a series of residential roads controlled by ANPR  cameras that fines drivers not registered to these roads to avoid the free movement of others who my be short cutting or parking..  You may have a perfectly legitimate reason to visit the area a relative, friend ebay purchase or whatever.
