United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Speed Camears are just cash generators and they can dress it all they want but i will still not buy any other answer, even the police authorities are not in unison on it, there are no cameras in North Yorkshire or County Durham regions as the Chief Constables do not beleive that they are effective.

Do you remember the episode of Top Gear where they tested how fast you had to drive to avoid the 2nd picture flash on a speed camera? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

176 mph and it was the TVR Tuscan S that was the only car able to beat the camera. One of my mates had one and it was just totally crap. Had to have the battery charged every night or it wouldn't start the next day. Bit like owning an iphone really. WINNER - 2009 Best Newcomer Award

Shame they didn't do it a few years back - would have saved me stumping up to Wiltshire Constabulary for a criminal 36 in a 30! WINNER - 2009 Best Newcomer Award

I only shredded the picture last week. I should have scanned it and posted it up for general amusement.

Bias aside though I have to agree with you. I was lucky I wasn't locked up for a stretch in Broadmoor! What was I thinking!? WINNER - 2009 Best Newcomer Award

But there are more than an average number of speed traps Whistle

So the chances of getting caught are much higher than the counties with static cameras. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

I heard on this morning's news that Lord Ahmed, who spent 14 days in prison for using his mobile phone while driving and was then involved in an accident on the motorway (but not while he was on the phone - 1 minute after he hung up! Oh yeh?) has announced that he is going to become a campaigner for road safety - how phoney is that Rolling with laughter 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Germany 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Bonatti Grey

Always the same in every country: How long will it take until politicians finally realize that those people who do 150mph when 70mph are allowed will also do 150mph if there is a 50mph limit?!? Rolling Eyes

I was abroad this week and had to drive about 75 mph all the time. Even with a car as slow as the RRS TDV6 that's hell boring and I almost fall asleep driving like that for hours. I have never fallen asleep when driving 120 oder 150mph so for me personally, driving faster is a lot safer! Thumbs Up Cool RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration Wink
