| In my experience, the knowledge that there is a speed camera in front does not necessarily mean more responsible driving (same with knowing where the police usually stays). That usually means speeding and making dangerous manuevres everywhere else, because you know which spots are being watched. Res... |

Pretty cool helmet. I'd say more attractive rather than less ugly.  |

| I agree. I think we have noticed a pattern that in this recession and the prices of fuel, most people try to walk/cycle or get public transport instead of driving. Plus, drivers are more conscious of their driving, cause it will cost them money to get their vehicles fixed in case of an accident. Ped... |

| Ah, don't you just love it when you have a nice Audi or BMW stuck behind your ass and you can't drive slowly? My sister is terrified of fancy cars getting stuck behind her in traffic. Especially worse if it's like tiny streets and sharp turns. I would wait to see what happens, before worrying too mu... |

| This reminds me of this article which I saw a couple of days ago. Not on the discussion of death penalty, but onto the idea of e-petitions, which need to get 100.000 votes in order to be discussed in Parliament. I had a chat with my friend about it and we both agreed it was moronic - the fact that p... |

| So, if a car mounts the pavement and crushes your foot you are at fault for not wearing steel toe-capped boots? Oh no: the received wisdom, on these forums, is that you are at fault for standing near the edge of the pavement. My point exactly. They are basing God knows what decisions on God knows w... |

I mean it's better than people parking onto a disabled spot, cause then you'd feel guilty, but why not pretend to be an unmarked 'police only' vehicle and get good parking hahah. Or maybe they are introducing a new trend to catch speeding drivers without e... |

It will be the cyclist's own fault if he gets hurt, as if somehow he caused the accident... |

| I think if you just go to the 'view new posts', as Ernest Marsh suggested, is going to work for you. At the same time, I believe most of the new topics will be on top of the page, as well as having a little yellow page, showing that there are new posts in there. I'm not sure how exactly you flagged ... |

| 2mln per year , that's not a bad income. It seems strange, though, that they would focus on how much money the speed cameras are not making, rather than how much drivers have improved their driving, if such be the case. Well, I guess we need bad drivers, don't we? Otherwise how are people going to ... |

| That's the whole parody of traffic laws and everything, though, isn't it? I mean, yes, there are irresponsible drivers, too many perhaps, but if nobody had taken proper care of the conditions, especially the 'pending-accident' places, like the bridge joints or tunnels or very sharp turns, what do th... |

| Onto the original topic of the speed van, I presume they do whatever they like doing. What is written in the guidelines is something that drivers 'cannot do', whilst it's 'must not' or 'shouldn't' for the police and the related. I don't think you can successfully win an argument with any authority o... |

| It's most likely they haven't taken into account the fact that bikes perform completely differently from four wheelers, despite the fact that whoever built that bridge supposedly had to take all kinds of vehicles into account. Perhaps it will be a good idea to change the bridge joints, in case they ... |
