Not what you want to hear
more funding for this money pinching government
surely this infringes human rights as it takes away ones right to commit crime?

what worries me more is where the government would get the vast sum of money it would take to implement such a system. We must be talking literally
billions of £££££s to create the infrstructure and operational resource.
Who do you think would foot the bill for this?
That's right - you and me

This is just going to temp folk to use false number plates. Of course law abiding types won't - so there the ones that will finance the whole
plot.
It'll get like Ireland where so few people had car insurance that even otherwise law abiding folk began to loose the incentive to get some - as
there was no one to claim against.
Before you judge a guy, walk a mile in his shoes. Then when you judge him, you're a mile a way and you've nicked his shoes.

I'm curious as to how 'cloned' cars would work on this system. I've always wanted to get two similar cars with the same number
plate, drive through some SPECS cameras while your mate drives through another set a few seconds later. Speeding ticket would show average speed of
several hundred miles per hour.

Spot on Puk - the government doesn't seem to twig that criminals don't mind breaking the law - anyone who really wants to speed will just
nick number plates and speed wherever they want, safe in the knowledge that there are no police on the roads, all having been assigned instead to
"anti terror" operations. Speeding is probably safe from being added to the terror legislation, unlike pretty much everything else,
because they want to lock up the terror suspects, which costs money, whereas motorists are just there to be hung upside-down until all the loose
change has fallen out......
It's like when they banned handguns because 1 person who legally owned some went on the rampage. They completely missed the fact that the
criminals who didnt' already hold theirs legally would carry on breaking the law and keep them - and gun crime is going up.
If I were running for parliament, I'd propose getting rid of the scameras and the talivan, and replacing all 8000 of them with traffic police,
whose priority is dangerous driving, not speeding.

Not good!
This administration is very out of touch with what the average person thinks.
Lost all interest in this country now. Seriously looking at how I can go self employed (opt out of PAYE by setting myself up as a company) get my
employer to pay me gross via me submitting an invoice once per month and vote with my pounds. I am sure with a good 'creative' accountant
I can halve the amount of money I pay in tax.
Now that will make me feel a whole lot better.

They've had them in Canada for years. They tend to send tickets out to a lot of peole who didn't actually drive that day, and neither did
their car leave the driveway - my sister had a big hassle getting out of a ticket one day because of such an error.
AND it didn't actually make any money for the government after all the mistakes were accounted for (British Columbia).
If you get caught by one, CHALLENGE it in court if necessary!!! It assumes guilt before you have had your day in court, which is not exactly kosher.
The government will see that it doesn't pay and perhaps change their minds. Do some research and send it to your MP!!!
If you are looking for a country to live in, I recommend Belgium or Luxembourg. Not cheap in Lux but has GREAT roads. English is widely spoken, as is
French, German and of course, Luxembourgeois. Canada is fine, but good luck getting past the immigration people - there are LONG waits.

I thought of a idea. Why doesn`t everyone have a no numberplate protest day as mentioned by captain gatso, except the plates are removed by a
"neighbour". If you were to get pulled you can say some git removed it not you. Over night the same "nei ghbour" will refit
it.

Of course, if you don't break the law, average speed camera's shouldn't worry you
The advantage is that you don't get muppets standing on their brakes when approaching static speed cameras, nor do they drive through at 28 MPH
in a 40 zone.
Another advantage is that if you're stuck behind someone doing 40 on a national speed limit B road, you can briefly hit 70 doing a safe overtake
and then carry on at the speed limit and your average speed won't worry the cameras.

It now seems technology Sucks!
We all now post our complainst for every one to read, whilst the greedy t@ssers running our country just don't care.
We should all remember Thatcher and the poll tax protests.
If just 100 people parked on our major motor ways (especially heathrow area) for a couple of days protesting I am sure the measage would sink in.
Yes extreem measures, but how long can the people be treated this bad.
And next elections. What a choice

If you were to block all the main arteries into london as a protest you would probally be done as a terrorist.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.....who gets to decide whom is who though?
This is getting silly....It seems every freedom is being removed and comon sence banned...
I know that this would not be a problem atall if no one ventured above the speed limit, but its the principle of the thing!
If there is no risk/reward strructure to life, and simply a "path to follow", WHAT THE F*CK IS THE POINT!!!!!!!!
