Surprised nobody has posted a link to the latest scamera story (sadly I can't find it, but it was in the Mail this morning and I believe the Telegraph). 'Twas all about a new scamera on the A27(?) that has raked in £750 000 in 2 months. It had been sighted in a newly designated 40 mph zone - down from 70 mph! Local scamera partnership say that new limits are adequately signposted - or apparently NOT!

Another story saying that the AA and RAC are now getting more worried by the proliferation of signs distracting drivers that they are missing the really important ones, or are not concentrating on difficult/dangerous junctions because of the proliferation of signs. This is leading to.........more accidents, whcih means that scamera partnerships can install more scameras!!!

Was driving along a road from my youth this weekend (nice fast winding road) to find that it was now littered with SPECS scameras (the ones that record average speeds over a distance). Northants Police....Bds!
