not as far as i know, my boss has a house there and he drives there all the time and don't think he'd put up with that. saying that he'd pass most of it in his motor.

So, are you in favour of speed cameras? Or not?

Really? Do you have a link to that information? Here is a link to a study that shows "a 51% reduction in injurious crashes":

An independent study from a group in Wales.

nothing to do with brunstrum and his posse? he's as bad as the whitehall tit brigade.




so what about people like me that have to drive from site to site for work. are the government gonna pay the extra in o/t and traveling for the extra time it takes to get places for jobs that need doing? not everywhere is accessible easily from m/way's and i'll be damned if i'm gonna leave home before 4.30/5am like i do now to get to s-west/n-east.
