Right some stupid bint nearly crashed into me earlier beacuse I braked suddenly beacuse I saw what I thought was a speed camera!!! 
 
Turned out it was a birdhouse but the pub has obviously made it to look like a GATSO the bastards!!! 
 
Now is this illegal? I remember hearing a case about it a while back but cant remember the outcome of it. Its a perfect replica ofone but it also has a seedfeeder so it was a birdhouse.

aslong as its on their own property + its not actually taking pictures they can do it. 
 
And the stupid bint isnt the other person for nearly hitting you, its you for slamming on your brakes!

i was probably doing 45 in the 40 zone. She was probably doing a good 50-55 as she was gaining on me fast!

technically, if she had driven into you, it would have been her fault

If its on his property can do what he likes. 
 
Council might have issues with it for planning permission if its seven feet hight though

Well, if she had hit you, it would have been her insurance and not your problem.

No,i do agree it can be hard to stick exactly at 30/40.  It ends up being more dangerous as you are always looking at your speed dial

I was thinking about this the other day, it is a valid point concerning safety etc.

TOTALLY WRONG WITH THAT COMMENT! 
 
the car behind should be sufficient distance away to react and brake in sufficient time to stop.What happens if a dog/fox/dear runs onto the road and you have to slam the brakes on?????
