I don't see speed cameras 1022My sentiments exactly. There is this myth floating about that thousands of 'innocent' motorists are being criminalised every year by...
Yup. I drove into London yesterday, in a FoB 4x4 just to pee off Duhg and his ilk. An interesting feature was that at one point there were three people on the street with clipboards and a digital camera. They photographed my car and seemed to make a point of photographing the number plate as well as my face. I was in traffic and couldn't get out to "have a word" with them. But I'll be interested to see if I get a visit from the anti-4x4 lunatics.
My route took me up the M3 and around the M25 past Heathrow. I wasn't in a hurry and drove within the speed limit at all times. On both the M3 and the M25 that actually made me the fastest moving vehicle for much of the time, because there was a police bike on patrol on the M3 as well as HA liveried vehicles and a police van. The sheeple automatically brake to about 60mph oor even slower every time they see a marked vehicle, or even a white can on a bridge.
Not only that, but the motorway appears to be full of idiots who drive flat out at the back of the car in front, to push the driver over to the left. There's little consideration of the fact that maybe the driver is overtaking another vehicle and doesn't want to cut into that vehicle's braking space. Once the aggression has caused a driver to pull over, the aggressor then loses interest in overtaking and slows to the same speed, sitting in lane 3 and no longer making progress forwards. It happened again and again. Puzzles me why they do it.
The other odd thing was the A40 jammed nose to tail with traffic, not moving. So I left that road and drove on an empty street parallel to the road in question, and didn't suffer any hold up.
London isn't congested, it's full of f***wits.
