When I lived in York in the 1990s, there was the next best thing on Tadcaster Road in Knavesmire (and maybe a few others); a couple of wires in the carriageway leading to a box by the side of the road in a lay-by where a police van could plug into and record the speeds of cars pbutting over the wires. I think the police could then photograph the plates of speeders as they went past & issue fixed penalties in the post. If that's not the equivalent of a speed camera, I don't know what is. They also had their fair share of bikers with hairdryers.
So is it now the case that North Yorkshire doesn't have permanent fixed cameras? If they don't have the panoply of hidden or fixed cameras, it would be interesting to compare the rise or fall in accident rates in that Police area compared with others who go for stealth enforcement in a big way. -- Hugo Nebula "If no-one on the internet wants a piece of this, just how far from the pack have you strayed?"
