New speed camera tested


Bad news for drivers with a heavy right foot. It looks like the next-generation of speed cameras that use satellite technology and number plate recognition, have successfully undergone testing. The system called SpeedSpike uses current ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) and GPS to detect and record the position of cars and work out their average speed. The system could be used on motorways, outside schools and around towns, in fact nowhere could be off-limits. Except maybe tunnels...and underground car parks. The system, devised by US company PIPS Technology, has been testing in Southwark, South London and on the A374 from Torpoint to Antony in Conwall. There’s no official word from the government as to whether the system will be used.
Somebody blows up a speed camera in Finland
Whereas this bloke opts for a pickaxe
This biker uses fire
Here’s someone who got stopped and threw a tantrum, very funny
I think this might be deemed excessive force
How to talk your way out of a speeding ticket
