No More Laser Or Radar!

[flotsam]

From next year the government are going to ban radar and laser detectors whilst allowing GPS based systems.

That's assuming they'll still be in power.

This is the latest attack on the motorist along with the higher fuel duty planned for September. Prescott has put a bus lane on the M4, Livingstone has imposed a congestion charge. Fuel duty is already 80% and the most expensive in Europe despite having the lowest oil costs. They'll also be bringing in more mobile speed detector vans rather than the fixed ones which makes the GPS system less useful.

Yet the trains use more fuel, even when all the seats are taken, than a car . . . any car. The Tories have also pointed out that they've put speed cameras in places where there are relatively fewer accidents and are intent on collecting fines more than anything else.

this is it the normal law abiding road user seems to drive around with a great big target on them and we are seen by the goverment as an easy source of revenue

Unfortunately we don't seem to have the solidarity of the Americans who were up in arms when their petrol went to $4 a gallon

and i know its illlegal and socially unnacceptable but doesn't seeing a burned out or vandalised speed camera bring a smile to your face :)
