...if they introduce this new form of speed camera...have no other details, just the photos from another forum. Mind you at least its at the perfect height for vandalism - reversing a knackered Transit into it a few times should do the job.?
Your crazy off the wall ideas intrigue me. I think they are a bit radical for me though []
Zero points so far so must be doing something right...but I have no problem with the concept of speed cameras, just the way in which they are used and where they are put. Outside a school or on a residential street sure...on the motorway and covert? Hmm.?
It might have been safe, but you are at the mercy of others. A lorry could quite easily swerve suddenly across 2 lanes. At 70MPH you may stand a chance. At 150MPH you're brown bread.
This is the problem. I can cruise all day at 140MPH and it feels like 70MPH. But if someone pulls out on me without looking we are both finished, no matter how good the brakes are. There are other factors to consider at this speed too; tyre integrity for one, not to mention the fact that?German autobahns are designed with it in mind, i.e. banked corners, smooth tarmac, etc. UK roads are not. Try doing 100 on a US freeway and you see the same thin - exit ramps are not sweeping enough, corners are not banked and surfaces are not smooth enough to handle those speeds anwyehre near as safely....?
I am not going to deny I drive way too fast alot of the time, but 100+ in the UK is a risky business (if only because it means instant ban if you get caught!)
