About time really. Vascar is a naff system as it relies entirely on the officers in question pushing the buttons when they should. The human error involved in using a lot of devices belies the quoted accuracy they produce. No way is speed detection accurate to several decimal places as you so often so quoted.

Scotland may have banned them, but dodgy speed detectors bring in alot of revenue for England & Wales.

So deffo won't be banned here. Wait for Government responce along the lines of, "Our Police are trained to use them properly".

Business as usual.

I think he meant "WILL CONTINUE TO bring in a lot of revenue for England and Wales"
