patently Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Yesterday, on the A404 Marlow Hill out of High Wycombe, on a straight uphill dual carriageway that is subject to a 30 limit that the local authority has admitted is unreasonable and stated that they will raise to 40, guess what I saw? Yes, a scamera van. And, what was in front of me? Yes, a car with such severe damage to its windscreen that it was virtually opaque, clearly unroadworthy, and clearly an MOT fail. Any guesses whether the staff of the "safety" van did anything about the clearly unsafe car that was driving past them? Road Safety Priorities? They can go themselves.... Rant over....

SamD Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I know exactly the peice of road that you are talking about patently. They have been talking about upping that limit for years as it is quite pathetic. I think this is a classic case of "it's not my department" thinking. The Scamera vans have no remit to tackle people in unroadworthy cars, just speeders. Quite pathetic if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
