Revealed: Where speed cameras target drivers in London as they drive to work
http://www.itv.com/news/london/2016-...early-morning/
Rip off Britain yet again. Local authorities always find ways of ripping off the motorists.
If its not the Congestion Charge that keeps going up, and now its digital CCTV cameras to catch out drivers.
And sadly, the Town l work in Ealing, is the ain culprit. EVERYONE speeds, when they know there no traffic about. BUT, why penalise them first thing in the morning when there is no traffic about.
Its like where l live in Isleworth. There is a bus lane for 267 buses. Yet, you cannot use it in rush. And this causes massive queues, so to me why cannot you use in rush hour. When there are no buses.
The country has gone mad - and drivers get punished for it

Re: Disgraceful acts by Local Authorities
Imagine - drivers getting punished for breaking the speed limit; it's as if there's a law against it!
Madness, I tell you!

Re: Disgraceful acts by Local Authorities
Arthur while I admire your level of passion it isn't matched by common sense very often and you get all worked up about things that if you step back and look at them objectively are either not worth the passion you put in or even worse your passion generates support for what your raging against. Whether there is traffic or not doesn't mean laws don't apply and if any driver on the roads honestly says they should be allowed to speed if the road has low traffic then we have a bigger problem then those who break the law getting punished.

Re: Disgraceful acts by Local Authorities
Hugh.,
Why punish drivers for speeding. What they should be doing is punihing drivers using Mobile Phones while driving.
IF, Pc stood at the top of my road, that goes onto Twickenham Road each morning - l GURRANTEE, you would have at lest TEN drivers in FIVE minutes using Mobile phones.
What they can use cameras for is to catch them out. My god the money they would get, would be in thousands in the FIRST day in London alone
This what they can use Camera's for.
Just think of how many accidents there are per day, with drivers using mobile phones

Re: Disgraceful acts by Local Authorities
And they should be punished as well - but it's not an either/or situation.

You must have a weird bus system if there are no buses at rush hour,instead of raging about drivers being punished for breaking the law i would get cracking on the lack of buses in rush hour

Arthur, You really do need to read what you are about to post before you hit the post button. Do you honestly think that people speeding should not be fined

Re: Disgraceful acts by Local Authorities
Also, if you have evidence of crimes being committed, why not take the details to your local cop shop?

Re: Disgraceful acts by Local Authorities
There is speeding, and speeding.
Say for example you have a 40 MPH and you do 60. That IS not speeding. If you do 70/80 then that is different

Re: Disgraceful acts by Local Authorities
Well if the stats are to be believed, if you are hit at 30 mph you have a 1 in 5 chance of being killed, 35 mph 1 in 3. A significant difference.
Best not to speed imho. I thought your were a hobby bobby Arthur?

Re: Disgraceful acts by Local Authorities
Has someone hacked Arthur's account?
I can't imagine this is really him saying this.
