all over the place. the areas they give are pretty large so fuck knows. there's pictures as 'evidence' but its pitch black so could be anywhere.

It's all to eliminate death though or accidents according to the policeman on Vik or some other on CWR recently.

yeah, def not put in places where they will generate easy money. regular speed cameras have the same excuse that they're in 'accident black spots'. There's one when you start going downhill on the A45 at Canley, how many accidents can there possibly have been there. Same on the A45 coming from the Ryton side.

Not really sure but I'm going to say two from memory down there and the other way to and I'm thinking pedestrians!
There was a case just recently,the headline said it was a chap on the motorway but he reckoned he was doing 59 in a sixty.

The way that news programmes now have to “unpack” situations. Just discuss them like you used to!

Just to make me even more annoyed as I can't work out where the images are from as they're literally just 2 black squares (all you can see is number plate and headlights even though the road would have been lit at that time which seems odd), I've calculated the speed assuming its between the two cameras with the shortest distance and it works out at 27mph in a 30 but they are claiming I was doing 37.

However there seems to be absolutely no way to get any more information or challenge this unless you want to go to court.

Coventry driver fined twice for exceeding 30mph despite 40mph road signs

Four Pound Avenue is one of several Coventry roads to get new average speed cameras - but it's sparked confusion over the speed limit

Could be wrong but I think the average speed stuff is about air pollution triggering a statutory need for a congestion zone or plans for improving traffic flow.

FYI I’ve been driving that stretch of A45 for almost 30 years, been flashed several times as have others I know and no one has ever got a ticket. I reckon they’re not even functional.

The obsession for every tiny bit of Rangers news on the BBC (radio, website and sport app). Are they "over-compensating" for lack of coverage of a minority sport as they are accused of doing for anything involving women? I didn't hear anything about the National League North results from last night, even though it's about the same standard!

It was the most high profile game played yesterday and they are one of the most supported clubs in Scotland.

The main article on BBC Sport website yesterday was some crap about US Open doubles. Who gives a fuck?

Average speed cameras don't flash you, the old GATSO cameras in Cov have all been decommissioned I think.

This will open a huge can of worms, so all I will say is that if somebody of sound mind wishes to end their life but lacks the physical means to do so, assisting them should not be a crime. Nobody gives their consent to be born, after all.

For minors without parental consent, well fuck off.

That isn’t what I said. Start a euthanasia thread if you want to discuss further, this really isn’t the thread for it.

The bit I posted was and you don't have a say what I do, think or behave.
