New speed cameras on M4
Did anyone hear on the radio this morning about the new speed cameras on the M4 - given my paranoia re getting caught on M25 recently - thought it might be worth a mention.
They said that anyone doing 79+ mph would get fine and 3 points. |

According to the local radio down that way they are apparently putting up camera's on most of the bridgets and intend to do anyone doing over the limit. Apparently they've already started and charged someone with SP30 doing 78mph.

I must admit, on most of the M4 journies I've made Westwards... it's a very fast road!

Talk about overkill with the whole "We will catch you, you know" thing.
popped out last night in g/f's cage and on radio news it was about the crackdown they are having. And about the camers being situated between J15 &17 but with the ability to catch you speeding from upto a half mile away Anyone know if thats true?

Big Brother knows EVERYTHING.Catch you from half a mile- no problem.They will catch you using the sputnik hundreds of miles up in space soon.And dont they just love to rub it in with their "we are watching you"propaganda.What really worries me more than anything though is that we have all been conditioned to take it without serious dissent.Im no apologist for the French,but I do respect those who will riot in the streets when the government oversteps the mark,and i think the french would be unlikly to put up with the surveillance culture we now accept as normal.
Bring back Captain Gatso Seriously though,it is true that the vast majority of Motorway crashes are caused by driving too close to the vehicle in front and/or inattention,and I am very confident that this enforcement policy will not do much for this. |

I am really fed up with the Wiltshire "Safety" Partnership methods.
Here's my letter to the Assistant Chief Constable, Peter Vaughan who chairs the partnership, please feel free to email your views to him at peter.vaughan@wiltshire.pnn.police.uk Quote:
