Very good idea VC.

I know for a fact, for the Dundee lot, that Tayside Police are clamping down on all motoring convictions over the whole of March.

Any sports cars, boy-racer cars or bikes will be pulled over for "routine checks" if the police feel it to be necessary.

Speeding will not be tolerated at all and the police are not being so lenient with the 10% rule.

My friend is a police officer and I know this is fact.

I got an ASBO placed on me and my MR2, thanks to this new clamp down!

I think it is a good idea. To make it a killer feature, a map would be great :th:

Daresbury Expressway. A Camera van has just started appearing there in the last few weeks. Just before it goes from a 40mph zone to a 60mph zone as everyone tends to speed up to 60 before the sign!

Not possible. Only humans can receive one of those. Not cars. I think you mean a Section 59 warning. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/30/section/59

What did you do to get it? There are many documented cases of officers using this power for purposes it was/is not intended for and thereby acting unlawfully.

S59 warnings cannot be contested in Court, so it is essential to fight back using the correct channels where such abuse of process has occurred.
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Would this not be better split into area's? Instead of one big thread? It's a good idea though! Damn good idea :th:
