This one almost fooled me the first time I drove past:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=heyford&hl=en&ll=51.918137,-1.293431&spn=0.000943,0.001725&sll=51.918036,-1.293876&sspn=0.000943,0.001725&vpsrc=6&t=h&radius=0.04&z=19&layer=c&cbll=51.918136,-1.293586&panoid=ezY6U2W9b-9YR-JKJpmWyA&cbp=12,163.44,,0,16.47

i used drive past the camera most days and was so convinced it was real even though the old man told me it was fake i wasnt till i stopped and got out i saw pretty good tbf

Not a speed camera but still a fake.......

Me and my mates when we were younger "found" a bus shelter that the council had took down and was laid waiting to be collect. Six of us carried it home and "put it up" outside my mates house. Then we proceeded to watch people stand and wait for a bus. The buses wouldn't pull over and people were kicking off  :grin:

We must have sat there for hours laughing at our great acheivement til a council van pulled up and removed our shelter.....

The best thing was, 4 people were at the shelter at the time waiting for a bus  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:  :grin:

I think that is fair play...let em do it. Surely they are helping out the Gvt and local services in possibly reducing accidents...

I said Possibly...I imagine they do help, even if it is a real tiny bit. The cons seem to out weigh the pros in that article.

The ironic thing is that Avon and Somerset safety camera partnership has been disbanded so in theory none of the camera's should be working.

Avon and Somerset police spokesman told the Daily Mail: “We have checked it out however it is on private land and as far as we are concerned it is not breaking any rules.”

ye funny that considering A&S police hate all motorists anyway, and their eyes, all motorists are criminals  :rolleyes:
