Sorry soap box time again - people join the ABD (Association of British Drivers) see
www.add.org.uk or contact Susan Newby-Robson on email on
enquiries@abd.org.uk - these people are on our side and are a highly organised, vocal organisation which has real strength and looks after all of us as motorists - not just with my pet hate speed scameras - but they actually have articles about road charging issues and public transport - where rail network have suggested 'peak time charging' to keep people off public transport at peak times i.e. rush hour. Is our goverment total m*ronic - it certainly seems so.
I wrote to the DFT (Department for Transport) and they (David Patterson one of Alistair Darlings cronies) wrote back to me to assure me that speed scameras would only placed where there had been a speed related accident. Jeremy Clarksons (yes him off Top Gear) in the Sun recently got local speed scamera partnerships down the M4 to own up and say some were indeed being fitted despite their promises wherever they felt like and for whatever they felt like - I have again written to the DFT and reminded them - will I get an answer? :rant:
