Cos 'the man' is out to get you.

Quote:
Shortly after midday tomorrow, drivers on the M4 in Wiltshire, between junctions 14 and 18, will face a £60 fine and three penalty points for speeding by as little as 9mph.

Cameras in marked vans will be operated from bridges over the motorway. Police and civilian operators will use laser guns on vehicles when they come within a kilometre of the bridges. Under the rules governing mobile cameras, the vans must be visible from 100 metres. But most drivers will be caught long before they come within that range.

Methinks the time for civil disobedience is nigh.

From tomorrow one of Britain’s busiest motorways will be monitored in the first attempt to enforce the 70mph limit.

Don't think it's the first attempt.

There's regularly one of the 'safety' camera vans on the M180 just before junction 3 (near Beltoft).
Got the link for info on it here.

It's there most Saturdays. I think it's to catch away football supporters as they go onto the M181.
