New safety cameras (put up to make sure that we are kept safe from nasty motorists that go too fast) have been put up on the QE2/M25 bridge. Unlike normal ones they are not attached to the nice yellow gantrees that we can all see, but concealed on the overhead signs, see link - http://btst.co.uk/QE2BridgeCameras/. As far as I am aware these are now ready and waiting for us all this bank hoilday. Lets make sure the government does not try and pay off their rediculous budget deficit at the expense of the already over taxed innocent motorists. :x

they also have hidden ones on the M20 after Ashford to catch you speeding towards the channel tunnel if you are a bit late for your crossing having been held up for 20 mins in their road works 10 miles earlier, as I found out to my cost £60 3 points :cry:

I F$$kin' hate SPECS cameras. What's so safe about driving down the road staring at your speedo instead of the car in front?
Humm I must remeber to wash all that mud off my numberplate, I just keep forgetting to do it when i wash the car.
