Question

Loads of big black boxes up around our town these days that flash up "slow down" even if you are not speeding.
There are speed camera signs up, but not sure if these are for them or not. Would hate to find out the hard way. :

Nope just a friendly warning - however I could see them disguising future ones to look like them!

Seen one recently that showed the speed you were travelling. Some would say it was kind of like a "TOP SPEED TESTER"

Not me of course

I know they had these in plymouth a while ago. They had one of them about 1/4 mile from a set of traffic lights on a straight three laned road. Three guesses why it got taken down?

1) It was vandalised?

2) It was stolen?

3) The local roybacers were using it a quarter mile top speed tester?
