No. the ones round here say CCTV on the side. But they are driven by traffic wardens that don't even need to stop, or issure you a ticket. I know too well. 60 quid later

Seriously, if that is the case, that is pure genius!!

Quick photo (clickeddy click) - fine in the post - no more assaults - no more disputes - no more driving off like a mentalist so he cant stick it to the windscreen

The sooner these clever little fellas make it up north, the better! That's brill!

Yup there are a few being used around London for various purposes, monitoring junctions, red light offences, speed offences, parking, right of way even.

so let me get this straight,if i were not a law abiding driver, i`d now have to look out for smart cars covering bus lanes/traffic lights/speeding areas and parking tickets as well as undercover cop cars/cctv traffic lite cameras gatsos the ones where you have to maintain a set speed thruout the whole road etc etc

man, time lose my plate i think LOL

Im not sure they are allowed to do that, ie issue a ticket through the post. The ticket must be served on the driver or the car at the time of the offence, else its invalid. What legislation are they using to issue the ticket in that manner?

Westminster Council use them for box junction offences, to name just one.

And how many tickets are issued for bus lane offences via cameras, not to mention congestion charge fines?

Apparently not. My other half got the fine through the post. She had to run into a shop, and parked with two wheels on a kerb that is probably 20 foot wide, as its also parking for the shops. Got a fine for that. In London Borough's such as the one I live in, you are not allowed one or more of the vehicles wheels on the pavement, unless its an actual marked bay. So, the council would prefer you to park completly in the road, blocking it, than on the halfway up.
