Default speed cameras

instead of vandalising them as its out our expense, how about taking a photo from the speed cameras perspective, and then print it out, and place it a foot away from the lens. So every photo it takes looks like a blank road
or even better put a picture like this in front

Chuckle, like your thinking, very Mission Impossible

Also, interesting parking going on there...


217: DO NOT park your vehicle or trailer on the road where it would endanger, inconvenience or obstruct pedestrians or other road users. For example, do not stop
  • near a school entrance
  • anywhere you would prevent access for Emergency Services
  • at or near a bus stop or taxi rank
  • on the approach to a level crossing
  • opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, except in an authorised parking space
  • near the brow of a hill or hump bridge
  • opposite a traffic island or (if this would cause an obstruction) another parked vehicle
  • where you would force other traffic to enter a tram lane
  • where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users
  • in front of an entrance to a property
  • on a bend.
Though in fairness, the presence of the police bikes there suggest some kind of incident

Also, when was the last time you saw an emergency vehicle get a parking ticket for anything?

safety camera partnership is run by the police though so they are one in the same really, at least here in avon and somerset.

a safety camera worker came into our office after he is being moved on early when the guy he was covering came back early...I work for the police and he was looking to be moved on in the police, hence the abive could still be wrong but i doubt it.

alledgedly they check where they need to go and high speed and risk areas...I think its tosh...where can they make the most money...saltford, downhill 30mph (steep) and in view of a 60mph zone only 50 yards away, houses only on one side and your lucky if you see pedestrians down there...scammeras.

rant over
