I think common sense would be a better idea! Like the empty road I was doing 60mph on yesterday, which goes into a 40 for no apparant reason, as it goes back to a 60 another 100 yards down the road. Coincidence that the 40mph limit and gatso were brought in at the same time! | |

50 = 50mph / 90kmh = normal cruising on streets | |

They shouldn't have points in england unless ur going above 50mph or something imo just a fine for under 50 | |

Lucky for us there is no points system over here yet but they are talking about it. | |

It is a joke! My mate phoned up his insurance company for a renewal quote last week and they said "We don't count SP30 speeding offences anymore because that many people have got them!" | |

We have these damn laser cameras here in SOuth Africa and they do not have to flash at all. Some do just to warn you there is a camera. They even nail you for travelling too close to the car in front.:boggle::mad: | |

quote: My point being that these things make drivers stare at the speedo instead of the road, which is obviously unsafe! And its not just me, everyone I have been in a car with is constantly checking the clock as they go thru, so if a kid stepped out in that time you would hit them, but at leas you wouldn't be speeding :o | |

Last night while goin to Fezzy Park driving down the A34. Its a 60 limit most of the way down but goes into a 40 and right next to the sign is a camera. I didn't notice the 40 limit because I was too busy keeping the car at 60 for the camera. Flash flash! 4kin thing got me!! Its a well harsh place to put a camera, and if I do get caught I will be appealing, as its obviously just there to catch motorists out and make money!! Which is apparantly not what these things are for. |
