    I dont have an issue as long as it is done fairly. Hiding a van behind a bush out of view of the traffic you are trying to catch speeding isnt fair.

    LOL, really, you want a fighting chance to slow down before being fine for driving like a dick?

    Not that I'm the perfect driver, far from it, I've been caught speeding twice in 29 years. Never did I think , 'shucks you could have told me you where going to be there. ' you take the chance then you run the risk of getting done, and there is ONLY one person to blame. Even manage to drive a Subaru Impreza for 5 years without getting done.

    Yeah, and I think that is perfectly reasonable. Make them like temporary speed cameras rather than the hidden devil.

    I don't really believe in or agree with the idea of speed limits at all to be honest.

    The Speed Camera in question is a temporary one, it is mobile but does make regular visits.

    Thank God you are rare, more idiots like you would soon clear the roads of sensible drivers.

    If by "Sensible drivers" you mean those that hold traffic up by doing below the speed limit and failing to keep up with the flow of traffic, then please, stop driving.

    You need to be made aware that the word is "limit", not "target".

    Thought you didn't agree with limits? So does that not mean you can go slow as well as fast?

    Sure, as long as they dont break the law by holding up traffic behind them. I think tractor drivers are advised to pull over when they have more than 6 cars behind them. Sadly there are currently not enough police to enforce this.

    Well let's hope you get caught speeding and lose your licence with that attitude - just like the two d***heads that keep racing up and down my road.

    What makes you think I drive below the speed limit unless the traffic/road conditions/weather dictate that I do. Oh and I agree with speed limits that are sensible (sorry I know you have trouble knowing what it means) and in keeping with the road and surroundings, the 20 limits in Southport are a waste of time and money most drivers drive at the speed they have always driven down them some "sensibly" others moronically. I think I know which category you are in. I know you are RARE but please don't breed.
