True story

Phobia's are weird...my brother has a fear of car washes, due to the brushes "closing in" as it were, and making him feel "trapped."

The funniest one, I think, and the most ironic, perhaps, is Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - a fear of long words!!

He's got it all wrong. If it's false prosecution he's worried about, it's the LTI20-20 he should be scared of...

"Mr Gant suggested one method to help ease conditions like his own would be placing speed limit signs on the rear of cameras to reassure motorists they were driving at the correct speed."

"Mr Rowe said this seemed like a “sensible idea” which could be investigated."

FFS of course it's a sensible idea. How much investigation does it need? Try to do it as economically as possible, but just get on and do it!!

Best wishes all,

Would reduce revenue so why would they spend money on it, especially since the councils don't have money anymore and the only people in the goverment with money are those who put in dishonest claims for nannies who post mail ocassionally classing them as Assistants/Sec.

There are places where they already do this. I've often thought it should be universal practice, as it both removes the 'I didn't see the signs' excuse, and (hopefully) reduces the number of people who slow down to an imagined lower limit.

Exactly. I don't see a snag with it, unless they are anxious to avoid jeopardising their revenure stream.

Let's hope no-one tells him about unmarked cars! The man will become a nervous wreck

Ooooh yes, unmarked cars. Thanks for that; I'm now a nervous wreck.

Best wishes all,

Dont forget why most of these camera's are there, 3 KSI's in a three year period for fixed and 1 KSI for mobile or an area of public concern.
