There is no justification to do this, they encourage people to slow down! This proves the Gov'n't are just money grabbing twats

Heard it on Radio 1 as well, but they've been saying it for awhile

Along with knocking the driving age up to 18

they cant ban them as they are only "providing information" - quote from a traffic cop.

But that's what I do without a speed camera detector... do they not remember that they painted all the speed camera's bright yellow? Only idiots would not be able to see those on the road.

If you act on that information, then you can be ass raped.

They can't ban GPS because of all the other systems tied into GPS.

They want to force people into fitting GPS systems, so they can then buy the information from the US Govt. and easily find out who's been speeding and when - no need for cameras when drivers are transmitting their crimes 24/7
