Depends on the kit- there are at least 6 suppliers approved in UK I can think of and they won’t all work the same way. I think I read that some kit has a range of 1km or more. It’s mostly based on military targeting technology, but it all has to go through what is known as Home Office Type...

All depends on the kit used. Don’t assume they all work the same as different forces buy different kit. I’ve been in the back of a van where you have to move the target yourself - mainly on multi lane roads. Certain vehicles are known to give false readings so some forces prefer manual...

Can’t remember the thresholds for speed awareness but IF you were detected there is a chance you might get a course offer, and going by my experience they aren’t too bad. Assuming you are the registered keeper and the technician got you - they are human despite what we think!... They have to...

Pendulum - The Tempest

Slightly out of date convo - but speed on green camera tech has been around for around 10 years. The ones being converted from wet-film to digital will gain “speed on green” but it’s really nothing new. Just wait for the latest tech that combines spot speed, average speed, red-light and ANPR...

Similar to others, I used it for comparison and base lining discount. Once you get quotes go back in and you’ll see built stock and specs. Good for haggling. I know someone that did the same with an orange wheels quote. Depends on how far away from target dealer is.

That sounds cool. Ages ago the Irish tourist board were in Manchester. They were handing out 10 scenic routes (or something akin) on the Emerald Isle. I still have it and it's on the bucket list so will make it one day.

Still can't get my head around the situation people have been left in. I wish we could do more.

A drag coefficient of 0.23 is pretty impressive. It's been some time since I was an Automotive Engineering student. Am I right of thinking this is one of the few mainstream production cars that has bettered the Calibra's 0.26 figure?

Sounds pretty cool - do you get to travel much or is everything done virtually these days?

Sounds about right - it's called politics (or where politics overules sound engineering advice). Where I live it's a Tory controlled council. The roads in the Labour wards (always Labour) are shocking and rarely have any money spent on them unless they are probably about condition 10 (out of...

Thanks. Our transport infrastructure is crumbling and outdated - posts on the outside of bends etc. are a no no these days. Need to vote for politicians that'll spend on roads. When we ask local councils to change things they struggle to find the money. Spend more on British roads I say!

No, although I've been told by a friend who is retired fuzz- he says I missed calling! I work for a regional Transport Authority and work closely with Police on a day to day basis. Police role is purely investigation and prosecution. My job takes it it a step further to prevention and...

Anyone collect promotional Lego? Aside from a few unopened Star Wars sets, I have Shell V-Power and Lego Stig key rings still in packets, but no idea if it's better to keep them sealed?!

I know that locking wheel nuts would stop well prepared thieves, but are locking wheel nuts standard on Audis or is that yet another option?!
