To the Silver SUV license CK04 VGT driving over 40mph last night in ED just before 9pm PLEASE SLOW DOWN! You almost hit my husband last night and didn't even seem to notice. We have small children just starting to ride their bikes on the road and while they were in bed last night if you are out on the road at any time you need to obey the speed limits. There are speed bumps on the road for a reason NOT for you to test out the power of your 4x4!


To all drivers...with longer daylight and sunny days there are more cyclists on the road than ever before. Please be careful and try to observe the 20mph speed limit.

I'm on danby st and the cars fly up it like it's a race course. The fact there's a school at the bottom now seems to not affect it; and the speed bumps are useless because you can probably straddle them in a smartcar. I have no sympathy for people caught speeding, even if the camera is in a 'sneaky' place.

We have them here too... have done for quite some time. I guess they're more costly than regular cameras.

Well said - the limits are there for a reason and if you don't break them you don't have to worry. People bitching about "sneaky" speed cameras (and I've been caught twice being silly on a motorcycle, most notably doing 50mph down the Mall, of course there are never many coppers in that area! Bloody well served me right) seem to me akin to shoplifters complaining that if the supermarket hadn't got CCTV they wouldn't have been caught.

It's actually quite easy to tell if someone's doing twice the speed limit - it's pretty obvious, and as for taking down the plate maybe the car had to slow for a corner, or perhaps twinsmom's feller has a helmet/handlebar cam?

If it's 2004 might have changed a few hands across the UK in the last twelve years - also cars are generally registered at their port of entry to the UK then shipped to dealerships across the country.

With modern GPS and tracking it should possible to have a satellite to detect and identify any vehicle which exceeds the 20mph limit on Lordship Lane.


And then all we need do is adapt Ronald Reagan's Star Wars technology to instantly vaporise the blighters so they can't do it again - "Simples" !

    • The difficulty with all the national shame is that you are handing the world to the right wing populist parties ("The flag, love it or leave it").  You can look at many if not most of Europe for the damage their colonial conquests did to much of the world. For Britain we could equally look at partition and the impact on the Indian subcontinent, 10 million plus death and the bonkers situation with India and Pakistan now.  Spain and Portugal went much further in wiping out much of the population of South America.  i understand that Stalin was less.  We all know about the Third Reich, even then perhaps the allies could have done more. I am not questioning what you say, but sadly most are only concerned about the present and don't care about sins of the past. And back to my earlier comment that some will point out other 'conflicts' attracting much less interest. Not a reason not to march tomorrow

    • I'm interested to know why you say that? They both sell the same kind of thing, they both have own brand products, and unless I've got it completely wrong, they both seem to be trying to attract the same kind of customer? I would have thought a Waitrose and an M&S so close to each other would have split the customer base (?not sure of the correct term) for both of them? People might shop in both, but I'd have thought each store would still lose out on sales?
