Here is a list of some of the speed trap cameras in London. It was not typed in by me so I cannot vouch for the accuracy of it: A3 Kingston bypass approach Robin Hood Roundabout A406 Clockwise Gunnersbury Ave 100m Nth of Chiswick roundabout Hanger Lane Chatsworth Rd just before the hill Nth Circ after Harrow Rd before the iron bridge A406 Anti Clockwise Nth Circular Rd Dog Lane before the iron bridge A4 Westbound Great West Rd after Hammersmith flyover 200m before the Hogath roundabout (reversible) Great West Rd Thornbury Ave before Osterley tube Before the hump Bath Rd Cranford Lane after the footbridge A4 Eastbound Great West Rd Penwerris Ave before the hump Great West Rd before Osterley tube M4 Eastbound Sliproad from M25 and approach to elevated section M4 Spur Rd towards the airport West Cross route southbound 50m from the roundabout A315 Westbound, just over Twickenham Bridge A316 between A309 and A307 just after the pedestrian bridge eastbound A316 Eastbound just off M3 on country way before A314 just after the roundabout with B358 A30 Westbound; Gt Southwest Rd, Griling Way A30 Eastbound; Gt Southwest Rd 100m after Stanwell Rd (cargo) M41 Southbound just after the railway bridge down from the M40 (reversible) A312 both directions just south of the junction (3) with the M4 A40 Eastbound 100m East of the Uxbridge Roundabout underpass 100m before the Hanger Lane Gyratory tunnel A40 Westbound 200m after the traffic lights at Horn Lane A1 Archway Road Southbound 50m after Viaduct (Hornsey Lane) Holloway Road Southbound 50m after Lorraine Rd Southbound 50m after Fieldway Cres A1 Northbound Holloway Rd.

Certain BP filling stations in the London area sell maps with the Location of cameras marked on it. Of course, only 20% of the speed camera boxes actually contain cameras!!! Rob. <R.J.Woolley@uk.ac.lut>

Would I do a thing like that ? I believe all these cameras are signposted anyway. What is the penalty for using the wrong number plate on your car ? Is it a simple 25 pounds and no points ? Hmmm, I think I'll just take the number from another red Peugeot 205 and have some plates made up for my car. Just imagine the look on the other person's face when he is shown a photo of his 'offence' and is prosecuted for it! As I have only ever been stopped about 3 times in 11 years driving I doubt that the discrepancy with the tax disc is likely to be noticed.

There is also the legal/civil rights issue of what constitutes "an offence". If I hold a steady 90mph down the M1 and am photographed by automatic cameras ten times, is that ten offences or just one? How about if there are fifty cameras? How about if the local Chief of Police decides to crack down and lines up 100 policemen on a one mile stretch, each of whom books me? (Yes, this is a rhetorical example, not something I expect to happen). Somehow having punishment proportional to the number of cameras does not sound right. Surely I should only be given a second offence after being notified of the first, which would mean not being prosecuted more than once or twice a week, assuming they process the films promptly and then mail out the notices 1st class.
