Yellow cameras to go

Doesn't work like that thankfully. You only receive signals and triangulate your position from them. Noting is sent out from the device. I don't think they record more than a few journeys and that data is private and easily deletable.

But these ones are here to stay:

Is it too much to hope ( naive ) that they use the 'relaxed' rules to put the damn things where they are really needed - outside schools and in areas where speed really is a problem - rather than on free flowing open roads. Yeha - too much I guess.

Maybe time to have one of those GPS devices that detect the cameras:

Up here we have enforced 20mph speed limits outside schools but that not the problem. speed onlya problem because mummy with her 4x4 drops her dahlings off outside the school gate and kids ain't seen. Its about time they started teaching road safety to kids and booking the parents. What happened to walking to school like most of us probably did???

People were mislead by the media into believeing that crossing the road is invariably fatal and that paedophiles and child killers lurk on every corner. They see it as "good parenting" to park their Chelsea tractors right in front of the gates so little Jimmy can get to school safely. Even if it causes accidents and congestion for everyone else.

It'll cause congestion alright - when I shove one of their mobiles where the darkness smells.

Fat, lazy, indisciplined little couch potatoes should be walking!

I bought Pete one of these for Christmas. It has a handy little bracket that tucks down behind your screen
