This was what the UK discovered after Brexit

Counter point, paki for Pakistani is really offensive (in the UK at least)

Opera is not a trustworthy browser and there has been no point in it existing since they stopped using presto.

They didn’t have a great relationship. Maybe the monster would prefer to go by it’s mother’s maiden name.

No the alternative is proper regulation and strong unions.

Cries in HS2

No, no they don’t.

Eventually it’ll just be a K9 update with a new name and logo.

So working smarter, not harder.

Probably played some golf on the moon.

The first two are newsworthy because of their exceptionality. Thousands of cameras two issues.

The third link points 100% away from the argument that it’s just to get revenue. If it were they would be actively decreasing the amount of dropped fines. They’d be making sure cameras were calibrated correctly (as if they’re not the court would throw out) and that they weren’t

unable to send tickets to motorists in the post within the allotted time before they are no longer valid

and that they wouldn’t suffer from a

lack of resources to bring cases to court

Riiighhtt because you’re sooo busy and soooo important to your job that you can’t take a morning off. Speed awareness course is like 4 hours and you can do over video call. Get a fucking grip.

Or, if you are genuinely so important and busy you must be paid a bomb, so just pay the fine, take the points, pay the bit extra on insurance. Job done.

Or, here’s an idea. Don’t break the mother fucking law in the first place.

“hi boss I need to take a half day holiday on X date, I have to attend a speed awareness course”

"Hey bob, can I swap a shift with you on X date, I’ll work your X Saturday. I’ve got to attend a speed awareness course "

Or if you’re to chicken to tell the truth replace with dentist. Or just throw a sickie.

It’s hardly rocket science.

It only seems to be since the yanks woke up.

Over here if you’re just a bit over they’ll normally put you on a speed awareness course for the first time getting caught.

And I 100% agree on fines being income based. I think some of the Scandinavian countries have done that. I also think there needs to be some kind of catch for the super rich who work the system so they don’t really declare an income. Maybe if your net worth is x times the national average the fine is the greater of either a percentage of your net worth or income.

In the vicinity of camera sites, the pre/post reductions ranged from 8% to 49% for all crashes and 11% to 44% for fatal and serious injury crashes. Compared with controls, the relative improvement in pre/post injury crash proportions ranged from 8% to 50%.

I don’t know what the rules are in the USA but over here you should be stopping on amber, not blasting through.

Maybe you guys ought to campaign to get the law changed. They used to be grey over here, but pressure was put on the government and how they’re all high vis yellow with loads of warnings before them.

Sucks to be whenever you are I guess. I’m used to that way they work where I live.

Fixed speed camera housings located within an area of street or highway lighting should be coloured yellow either by painting both the front and back of the housing or covering both the front and back of the housing with retroreflective sheeting. In an area not covered by street or highway lighting, the speed camera housing should be treated with yellow retroreflective sheeting.
