At Ings - A591 Thursday morning, the scameravan was lying in wait to trap the unwary.... and for once it was with advanced intelligence in mind!
Princess Anne - a famous speeding driver with previous ticket(s?) to her name was visiting the county!
CSCP rose to the occasion, and the said van was in place in order to ensure that if the Princess Royal transgressed, she would be suitably chastised with a NIP in the post.... NEXT WEEK!
If Her Royal Highness HAD been speeding through Ings, chances are she would still have been speeding past Windermere, the Lakes School at Troutbeck Bridge, THOSE cycle lanes at Waterhead, Ambleside, Rydal and all the way to Grasmere!!!
I feel certain that users of those roads felt a lot better knowing these steps were being taken to prevent speeding, but which are so obviously a waste of time in terms of safety.
However, the Treasury and the CSCP employees DO find the money generated handy!
