Speed camera cashes in/Clamper gets clamped/Aston One-77/Supercar 'name that tune'


It’s been reported that an M6 speed camera has brought in over £160,000 in fines in just five weeks. The camera, which was installed during road works between junction 43 and 44 on the M6, has captured over 5,500 motorists busting the speed limit. Who said speed cameras weren’t a cash-cow? Which brings us onto a speeders special, featuring, the guy who throws a fit after getting a ticket, tips on how to avoid getting a ticket, an irate speeder who takes things a little too far, a speeder who gets tazered and a cop who accidentally tazers himself. Onto other news, and it's a good day for anyone who doesn’t like clampers, which is pretty much everyone - even clampers mums. Traffic wardens in Southend, Essex clamped and towed a private wheel-clamping firm after spotting it on the road without a valid road tax disc. We would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that one. Fortunately there’s no shortage of videos of clampers getting their comeuppance, like this and this. But should you get clamped here’s two ways of dealing with it, driving with the clamp still attached (not advised) or take an electric cutter to the clamp, (also not advised). Meanwhile, yesterday we reported about calls for level crossing questions to appear on the driving test, do doubt to avoid this, or this. Well one motorist has escaped a driving bad after being caught playing chicken with a train near Newcastle. Onto new cars now, and the Aston Martin One-77 is one of the most eagerly awaited supercars of the year, here it is on the move. Sticking with supercars, if you fancy a game of name that tune, but with supercars, then check out this clip of a selection of supercars driving around London. I think I got about four right... Don't forget to check out our cool car chase of the week, a true classic.
