Can't link roders!

 

Try now Pal

 

Sorry,but not one for my xmas stocking.

 

Very interesting Roders. But how do you know it works? I had a quick Google - found plenty of people selling it but no-one with experience of it working. Could be like anti-wrinkle cream - just a scam.

I think I will launch my own brand for half the price. Just plain water - I want to keep the costs down. The coating is so clever that it is invisible to the naked eye - so it is undetectable by the police. Should make lots of money. Of course if someone does get caught on a speed camera - they are hardly going to report me to the police for a scam.

 

We�ve got a really nifty device in our car. It�s pretty accurate and reliable. No worry about penalty points if you use it properly.

It�s called a speedometer
:D

 

:D :D : :D Good one, Dave W!

 

Seen this before and as an ex HGV driver Ive tried and heard about every one of these things. If the photo dosent develop in colour the police then can develop it in black and white and your number plate will be revealed .
If anyone wants to buy it and prove me wrong I wont stand in your way and will be only to happy to be proven wrong.
As Dave W says a speedo is the best thing to prevent speeding and even better it comes with the car as a standard fitting - you dont pay extra for it.

 

The best way to stop speeding is to raise the speed limits back up to what they were a few years ago.
Money making scam or what.
Whos the biggest crooks, the local authorities that keep lowering speed limits and putting in more cameras or the bunch of rip off merchants selling this stuff?
We're in the middle.

 

I agree with Dave. If drivers are too stupid to keep an eye on their speedo and comply, then they are too stupid to drive at all. Speed kills.

The problem with speed cameras is that drivers speed between them and slow down rapidly when they approach one. An average speed between camera A and camera B is required.

None of this should be necessary if people took a responsible attitude and cared about everyone else's life. Hiding a license plate isn't going to restore the life of the victim.

Maybe the spray idea is just a sick joke.

 

Agree with DaveW! It's the only sensible thing to use...

 

A good idea for anyone thinking of speeding is to cut a picture of your loved ones in such a way that it can sit beside your speedo covering from 70 mph on up. Then when you go over 70 and you look at your loved ones instead of your speedo most times you slow down.

 

I do agree about the speedo. But I am concious that it is possible to exceed the speed limit by just a couple of miles an hour, even when you are trying to keep to the limit. Usually you do not get caught - but its a bit of a lottery.

Its a game to the police as well. I understand that some play something called 'snooker'. They have to catch a red car first, then any colour - but the score differs with black being the highest. Then another red one, and so on.

 

I agree with the need for speed restrictions but disagree with some of the comments here. There are a lot of people who get caught who don't do so deliberately - who is going to speed deliberately and get a a �£60 fine + the extra insurance? Both myself and my two sons have been caught 4 times between us and in 3 of the cases it was because the speed limit was not clear. In my case I drove on to a road on a wet night that had been 70 but was dropped down to 50 a few months before. The big sign was by traffic lights on the approach and I was distracted by a car jumping the lights. When I spotted the little 50 sign I was flashed by the camera....this is a dual carriageway leading to a motorway.
If you think this is just reckless you should try driving from the Potteries to Leek along the A53. There are so many changes in speed limits up and down and so many speed cameras if you forget, say at traffic lights you have had it.
I stick rigidly to speed limits and I am a careful and observent driver - I have no sympathy for those who speed through built up areas. I don't object to camera but I do have objections to poor signing. The large numbers being caught may not be a sign always of deliberately breaking the law but partly due to people not knowing. In my own area we have seen a lot of speed changes and they are not in built up areas. What originally used to be a stretch of 60 mph road now becomes a road with 60, 50 and so on.
The best signs I have seen are those that flash up your speed as you approach. I just wish they would tell you when you were within the limit.

 

Couldn't agree more Geoff, hardly a week goes by around here when I dont spot a new lowered speed limit somewhere, and its getting worse.
Before long we will all be crawling along in long queues at 20 mph, and then the Chancellor will raise taxes because were all causing so much congestion.
