In your example the scouts managed to do it, the only difference being they didn’t generate revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter1450 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Again I think it’s something they have to do, can’t see them doing it otherwise as it must affect their revenue stream from the ever suffering motorists of Bristol. Now is that stretch of road 30 mph or just where it slows to 20mph or the metro bus lane or another new unused cycle lane........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Bristol Post do it they don’t tell you the date and time at which the camera will be in each location. To be honest I don’t know why they bother, I bet we can all name at least 4 locations where we know a speed camera van may possibly be as they use the same spots time after time.

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted September 2, 2018 Admin Share Posted September 2, 2018 I’ll never be convinced it’s about safety, revenue raising is the aim of it. I see lots of examples of really poor driving, moreso than people doing 35 in a 30, but that’s not easy money!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Oh, and from today there is no more free parking in Bristol … the council are imposing parking charges evenings and Sundays from now on... Don't get caught out parking in your usual places that you are used to being free off peak parking.. Would be easy to do if you regularly park somewhere on Sundays... NO FREE PARKING SUNDAYS & EVENINGS IN BRISTOL!!! …. Cheers Marvin. Boo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Cloud Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Downend Road is another mega high profit spot for them, it has both 20 & 30mph limits and they know full well most drivers won't notice or expect the difference.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I don't know if it goes to councils the revenue, or something else entirely. One thing for sure though, many councils are absolutely in a huge financial hole- perhaps even ******. Regardless of rights and wrongs of these cameras- they will and do try to raise revenue in any and every way they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I was done the other day. Only 62mph in a thirty and twice over the legal limit. I was only trying to get back to the pub where I had left my glasses so no chance of spotting the dibbles. Absolute farce and pure cash generation scheme. I will be writing to my MP and Esther Ranzen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
