Watford - speed cam capital of UK??

[Gordon H]

Working around Watford / Kings Langley today - did they get a job lot of Gatso's in that town??

Seemed to be a camera every few hundred metres......

Gordon.. Relax mate

You of all people should be safe where Gatso's are concerned ;)

Very true GT,
a milk float has more chance of being flashed

Poor old Gordon - dont be so mean - he might of been a passanger

[buzzbomb]

Delivered a S2R to Derby on tuesday, went down the M6 -A50 but came back to manchester on A-roads, blimey never seen so many gatso's in my life as on the A52 and Derbyshire in general.

Take no notice Gordon, you're better being five minute late in this life than five minutes early in the next...;);)

Yep, derbyshire seems to be particularly bad for them. Manchester has quite a few dotted around on those annoying 30mph main roads that could clearly have been turned into dual carriageways too. My impression is that most of the country got a job lot of gatsos :( Judging by the speed some people go through them there must be a website somewhere showing all the ones that are turned off?

Not that Adams have to worry about such things... I'd be struggling to keep up with that milk float too :)

Funny! I live in Kings Langley and dont find them a problem as know where they all are. Most dont have film in them anyway but there are a few around yes! They are almost as bad a the 1,000,000 speed humps in the county! Bit of info for anyone who uses the M1 down to London, after the widenening they have now stuck cameras behind the gantrys and they flash anything over 80mph! My rearview mirror resembeled a 1980s disco the other day! Luckily my battered Honda only does 75!

There is alot hidden up in gantrys...
I was hacked off at all the ave speed cams at Dartford on the bridge and aproach both ways...they insisted they where not switched on yet .. then just switched them on and caught people out.

They are always burning them around Epsom .. tyres foam you name it !
Speed humps .. not my friend .. some are so high and domed its mental and I ground my bike out on one was very angry .. I understand they are there for a reason but can't they be a bloody uniform size!!
Not Glastobury Tor size thanks"!

Come to Swindon, they have all been switched off for over a year now and less people have been killed as a result! :thumbsup:

Certainly the case with you on the back!!!

You may need to keep a look out after all Gordon. I've just heard they are launching a gatso with built in calendar, and high definition colour camera. They can work out how fast you are moving by noting the growth difference in the grass at the side of the road. Several donkeys have been caught speeding in India using this technology.

[He11cat]

Flashing milkfloats ..... well I bet thats every milkmans dream getting a flash in the morning :)

[samieb]

Where's the Bravo award? :hail: :thumbsup:

GT you are indeed very funny ATM, I'm sure that Gordon will after all appreciate all the concerns that UKMOC are currently showing. (NOT)

:D

Now where did I leave my coat? :running:

Look, a word of warning - the Germans thought that the Bismark was unsinkable - they didn't allow for the old Swordfish being so SLOW and that was their undoing.........

And for those of you with 1/ poor understanding of history OR 2/ under 35, go take a history lesson - I'm ok, 'cause that's where I live - (just up the road from Stafford).

aye, that'll be right!!

I'll be taking a sabatical at this rate!!

[Gordon H]

Last time I try and start a vaguely sensible thread!!!!!

[uksurfer]

I think the thought of me on the back probably helped the issue, especially on downhills

Gordon,

Don't listen to the nasty people or look at the very funny pictures GT has in his collection.

Whenever I've ridden with you theres never been a problem with you keeping up. I know several times you've slowed to allow slower riders to keep up with you.

I for one would miss your sensible posts, and it was a valuable point you made.

So just ignore all the comments having a pop at you, afterall they are just having a cheap laugh, which is never a good laugh

Cheers
Stuart

PS
Are you still OK to take my crash helmet to George Whites on Monday please?
