And I thought they where to slow traffic at an accident black spot? Surely theres no point being this far away from such a place.

.....proves the point they are money makers rather than safety devices....!!! :wack:

The smart part of the Watchman system is the radar, first from the readings on my Bel it is using X Band, a no longer used band or that what we thought. The next problem is that it reads your speed as you approach, it has eyes in the back of its head you could say, so speed up to it and slow down past it and its still got your speed.

Just to warn people. Dorset will be introducing these.

I think all motorists should join the ABD (http://www.abd.org.uk). Or the SXOC can do it as a club.
We can lobby the bastards more easily then.

"He added that while Government statistics listed speeding as the seventh highest cause of accidents, inattention - where drivers may be looking for traffic cameras - was one of the highest."

The SXOC condones neither vandalism of speed cameras nor burning police officers.

Thread closed cos it's turned to a load of bollocks :indiff:
