They have put up some camera's in Romford. They look like a standard speed camera but they are about twice as high. I haven't seen this type before.

Does anyone know what they are for?

I've digged around and found this.

If I've understood right they issue fines but not points.

Camden are putting them up in Kentish Town Road.

FFS, will they only stop when 50% of drivers in the UK are banned?

Tossers. :-|

\i dunno if it's the same ones but us bikers laughed our socks off when we found out the new speed camera's would have a distinct advantage as they would take the photo from the front thus enabling the driver to also be identified. :roll:

No number plate on the front of a bike :lol: :lol: :lol:

Helmet on the driver :roll: :roll:

Whatever will they think of next eh :wink:

The biker boys will have a rope round the top of them in no time - look at the height of them - the leverage will make it easy to uproot them.

Err, in short, No.

Points and fine are on their way to you about 2 minutes after you are filmed.

The Pepipoo website is well worth a visit for anyone receiving an NIP.
