B'stards...
They got me again...
I drove though a light that changed from amber to red in Garland Texas saturday night....anyone know what the fine is?
I had my family over from Blighty and they said the bastard cameras are everywhere over there, and now they have come up with a new speed camera (black box or something?) that they hide behind trees and shrubs, whilst the fuzz sit in a van all cosy like? my brother said there's a website in England were people spot them and someone goes and runs over it or tears it down...is this true?
The camera is on centerville and 635 LBJ, so if anyone has a shotgun....can you kindly blast the F**ker away for me.
Thank You

As a bloke who works in the insurance industry, I would like to commend you in the fine art of speeding.
Your premiums thou shalt rise and that is good. I have a mortgage and two kids to support.
It costs a lot to put the little beggers through college let me tell you.
More of the same please.
chin up mush. trouble with the camera's is that they don't buy the 'tourist from England accent' while looking all innocent like.

I dunno.
If you can avoid getting points on the license at any cost go for it I guess.
Here in MI we count speeding tickets for 3 years, while they may only stay on the license for 2 years, we still class em for 3.
Don't know how it is down your neck of the woods.

If you live in an area where they use these cameras get a license plate filter or spray. It makes your license only readable from ground level.

No, it doesn't. It means speed up and go through or get honked from behind.

LOL, So the US and UK are finally catching up with OZ. WE have had (side of the road) speed cameras and red light cameras for over 10 years now. Got done by one about 5 years ago. I am glad they do not have the auto road side speed cameras here as I am a lead foot.

If I did stop on a amber light, half of Dallas would be ramming me up the rusty bullet hole.
