Speed cameras 'may cause accidents' By David Williams Motoring Editor, Evening Standard 24 June 2005 Fresh doubts over the value of speed cameras were raised today after a surge in accidents at sites where they are installed. Official papers show that the number of crashes rose...

I'm just curious because I drove from junction 5 to junction 14 today and didnt see a single camera!! Seems a bit odd to me that a road like that is camera free, but then again there might be cameras on it further north. Also, where abouts are the SPECS cameras on the M1, does anyone...

These have been installed , noticed them last night.

Talking to a friend who is a journalist this afternoon and moaned about vast numbers of greed cameras being planned. Ah, he says, the powers that be are getting worried about civil disobedience being stirred up by this oppression. May not have noticed because of the election and the fact that...

Did you know that recent Government legislation changing the Freedom of Information Acts gives you access to speed camera offences registered within the last twelve months and placed on a freely accessible website? :confused: Did you know that every time your car goes even over...

"A new "intelligent" speed trap is set to catch thousands of drivers in London. Groups of cameras will track cars over a wide area - such as a housing estate - instead of "flashing" them at just one spot. Designers say it will be impossible for drivers to outwit them by slamming on their...

When the gantry indicates a new lower limit of say 50mph, do the cameras on the gantry know this new limit or are they pre-set to 70mph+ Marc

I was driving down a normal road with a speed limit of 30MPH and there was this car driving ridiculously slow at approximately 20MPH. I decide to overtake this stupid vehicle as there was no on coming traffic in the opposite lane and sped past this slow moving vehicle. To my horror there is...

Linky It was refeshing to hear this on the news this morning :) S.

I see Hampshire Police now call their GATSOs, (well Truvelos actualy) Road Saftey Cameras, yeah right!. They do F*** All for road safety. Today a muppet in a white van blundered out of side road in front of me and proceeded to weave down the road at about 20mph, guy was obviously pissed as a...

I have just been sent an email with the following info, though I would pass it on. The new electronic signs on the M6 were switched on this Tuesday. The bad news is that they are rigged with the SPECS speed cameras. This probably applies to all the new signs being installed on the M62...

Beware as of next week SPECS cameras will be up and running on the Limehouse link tunnel. Digi-cam aims for speeding drivers Fines from speed cameras are used to pay for more cameras The first speed camera in the UK that works without using film is being installed in a road tunnel...

Sorry to keep harping on about me Origin Blue. But I drove upto the Midlands at the weekend and was shocked about hidden cameras. On the M25 in the Traffic Calming Area (variable speed limit) they have cameras every other gantry 3 in a row. Also I was aware of SPECS on the M6 around...
