cameras

FYI.............. During last week, there were SPECS average speed cameras erected on the QE2 "Dartford" Bridge in Essex/Kent. They start just before the bridge and end before the tolls at the end. If you have driven by and not seen them last week, it's because they are mounted on a road...

Have an In Car 7" DVD Screen (the retractable type - single din) in my 1999 W202. At the time of buying it there was an option of ordering a reversing camera with it but i chose not to. I would now like to purchase one, but have a few queries that i thought might be able to be answered by the...

Have a look at how being caught can affect your life if you don't just cough up!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7967982.stm

Please excuse my ignorance but does Command have speed cameras database? Thanks Ian

The use of average-speed cameras in residential streets is nearing reality, as the Home Office confirmed that it would be approving SPECS3 camera technology (Feb 09). Transport for London claims time-over-distance cameras are essential for the successful implementation of 20mph zones. Source...

...well, not exactly, but as an article in The Register notes, the action that Swindon have taken to cease funding the Safety Camera Partnership could result in it being "proven" that speed cameras actually cause accidents. This could come about because accidents in the Swindon area have been...

Well not really because the Wiltshire camera partnership will continue perhaps despite Swindon pullling the £400k it coughs up. But now somebody try to tell us it is not really all about money and politicians start bleating about this will "cost lives". Oh wait: they already have...

Has anyone noticed new cameras/variable speed limit signs clockwise on the M25 just after the A3? The old-style variable limit signs had an orangy tint to them while these updated ones (only on this particular gantry clockwise just after the A3) have new white bulbs- like those found near...

New Specs cameras have appeared on the side of the anti-clockwise stretch of the M25 between the A12 and M11 junctions in Essex. Does anyone know if they are live yet? There are no signs supporting them, yet my Snooper Evo warns me of their presence. They don't look like they are connected...

From my "in box" this morning from a " friend in the know" Subject: M25 JCT 10-15 Digital Speed Cameras Going Live 15th Feb 08 Importance: High All Metropolitan Police Service (for those of you who didn't know) that as and from the 15th February 08 all the Speed Cameras in the Variable...

I have inside information that the speed cameras on the M25 (J10-15) are being upgraded this weekend from analogue to digital. This basically means that the "Triger Point" has decreased from 93 MPH to 80 MPH. Hope this helps prevent some unwanted points! ;)

Interesting article... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/main.jhtml?xml=/motoring/2007/11/10/mfspeed10.xml&page=1

"The Britten-Norman aircraft was described at the time as carrying equipment able to monitor telephone conversations on the ground." "Cheshire police recently revealed they were using the Islander to identify people speeding, driving when using mobile phones, overtaking on double white lines...

Had a quick search around but couldn't find another post asking the same question. On the A312, A40 and other roads around London I've noticed new camera's popping up. A grey pillar with an arm hanging over the road holding up to 5 cameras. I'm confused as to why you would need 5 cameras on a...

Spent today driving from Barcelona to Barbizon, just south of Paris :) Apart from the fact that we came via the stunning Millau viaduct, the car was brilliant, etc etc, I made a discovery I thought I'd share.... If you use the viamichelin route planner for journeys in France, they include...
