To be honest I feel for him having to put up with traffic but there are plenty of ways to slow vehicles down without resorting to cameras.

If someone brakes hard & there is a pile up outside his house I for one would put him down as the party responsible for the accident.

I used to (& sometimes still do) drive down the old A120 in Essex, it's a nice clear road & when it is safe to do so 80mph is a not wholly unrealistic speed. There are some houses close to the road & a good driver would slow for the populated stretches of road. it's just a shame there are not enough "sensible" drivers who can use good judgement to decide what constitutes a fun yet safe speed. Hence the need for speed cameras all over this land.

...and there was cynical old me thinking they were just the latest cash cow dreamed up by our beloved Tone and his merry men...I never realised there was actually a *need* for them!

OK lets not get into that old argument shall we..............

There was a guy near here that put a fake Gatso up on a long straight, claimed it was a bird box! and I belive caused a few near misss and few dented bumbers. He was told to remove by the local plod, or go straight to jail and pay £ 200.

I suppose a home made Gatso could end up looking like an old microwave up on a pole, eh Tom??!!  

[Lawnmower Man]

Now theres an idea.  
Everyone could bring a gatso along and I could microwave them.
