1920.0. "Where are the Camera's" by VIVIAN::JD_WARD (Big John....) Thu Oct 15 1992 15:08

    In today's Daily Expresss it says that equipment (camera's for speeding
    motorists) has been installed at 21 locations on about on about 50 
    miles of truck roads in the West of London. 
    I know that one camera is on the Eastbound side of the M4, Junc 2. But
    where are the other 20 camera's.

	There was one on twickenham bridge about half way across, a grey box on a short , 10' is pole, heading for the M3 on the a316. Last time I passed that way it had gone. Maybe they put a new one up. Garry

	There's a detection camera just past the second or third bridge between juntion 11 and 12 on the M4.The camera is east facing,and it's a biggun, probably a radar tracked camera. Andy..No officer I was only doing 70....

	re: -.2 One of my mates got nicked and fined for flashing his lights at a car coming the other way, to warn him about the copper in the side road he'd just passed (not very well described, but you get the idea)... I think the cop got him for illegal use of the lights. C.

1920.10	always flash ?	KERNEL::MCGOWAN		`Fri Oct 16 1992 14:28`	6
	Do the cameras ALWAYS use a flash for their exposure ? Pete (just musing about attaching a strobe flash unit to the back bumper, either pointing back at the camera to blind it, or at the numberplate to totally over-expose it.)
