What a slapper. The whole point of speed cameras (supposedly) is to stop motorists speeding in danger black spots. If you dont see the camera you can still speed through that area - you may even kill someone so what use is a fine after the event when the damage is already caused?? At least if its bright yellow more people will see it and actually apply their brakes.

Somebody should hold her down and tatoo 'deterrent' onto her forehead. It might encourage her to find out exactly what the word means.

And some other dumb laws for England...

It is illegal to be drunk on Licensed Premises (in a pub or bar).
It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance.
In Chester, you can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight.
In Hereford, you may not shoot a Welsh person on Sunday with a longbow in the Cathedral Close.
In York:, excluding Sundays, it is perfectly legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.

And Scotland...

It is illegal to be a drunk in possession of a cow.
Trespassing on someone else's land is legal.
You are presumed guilty until proven innocent for some crimes.
If someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your commode, you must let them enter.


but don't quote me...


EDIT to add the specific one about archery...

Law: All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy.

Explanation: This law dates from the middle ages when there was no standing army, so in times of war each gentry was required to produce a quota (depending on its size) of knights, archers, infantry, etc. As the church was the only centralized instrument of beauracracy (the lords were independent for the most part), they were used for such tasks.

As I have said on another thread what we need to do is keep an eye on the website for Transport2000 and do the opposite of what they want us to do! Therefore at present we should be writing to our MP asking them to vote to keep speed cameras yellow!
