Jeremy Clarkson caught doing 70mph on the M40 while talking on his mobile phone

That's because they will be "RED LIGHT CAMERAS"

Does that mean they are only used in 'Red light' areas?

Sounds a bit voyeuristic to me!

Yes we know that It's the irrelevant speed that John was referring to

and they are not forward facing anyway .

Sorry, I thought the reference was to what triggered cameras except speeding

well if you trigger a red light camera ,i think being on a mobile phone will be the least of your problems. now if it is rearward cameras and you cannot be seen on the phone clearly or it is a white van, how will it be proved?

You original suggestion was that cameras don't catch mobile phone users - but they do.

Your question now has changed the premise somewhat - and the answer has to be, that if the evidence isn't there, then no prosecution. But that would be the same whether it was a camera looking at the back of the van or a Traffic Cop...

Why would Clarkson buy a LHD 600? there are enough RHD cars left - in the UK, Oz and Asia - to get one that wasn't green

the plate number can tell if it was speeding.
i am not asking any more questions i am sayin that cameras catching mobile phones will be impossible except there is some speed involved or red light jumping, and it is forward facing.

I am not changing questions or anything like that

It states in the original article it was a gift.

 

[kingsize]

There will be no prosecution of Clarkson.

 

[glojo]

There will be no prosecution of Clarkson.

Agreed especially as there is no real proof.

A kind soul would say: 'Exclusivity'
A less kind soul would say: - 'Look at Me' ...:bannana:

Oh that's ridiculous (but thanks for posting the link)

I expect Jeremy's registration mark will appear on this website:

A half-reasonable brief would make mincemeat of an impeding prosecution based on one "photograph" from a mobile phone.
Why the police are even taking an interest is beyond belief. They really must have JC in their sights big time.


And.............WHAT IS the point of this website?

I dont believe a government body could be so childish and banal. Pointless.

I would be very surprised and disappointed if the police were to take any real interest.

Imagine the head-lines if ths person took the picture into the local police station and JC identified them as the driver that took this photograph whilst they were actually driving. What proof and I mean proof is there regarding who took the picture, where and when? What real proof is there that JC was actually on a public highway?

"Yes it was me in a motorway service area".

We alll tend to believe what we want to see and I wonder what the response would have been if this article appeared in the Daily Mail?

Can the Police have said, "Thank you for the picture and we will look into this!" Then when the person walked out of the station they used words similar to our resident carrot scoffer's vocabulary to describe that person attitude?

Apologies. I assumed it was a government funded "public service" website. Sorry.
