Hi Guys and gals I have some inside information on a new speed camera location.

I have been informed today that Blackwall Tunnel has finally turned on its speed cameras. The cameras have been fitted for many years but were not actually switched on till midnight last night. You cannot see the cameras, they are not sign posted, they are not yellow and they work like the specs system monitoring average speed. These cameras work both Northbound and Southbound and will be on 24hrs.

The strangest thing that I have been told is that you wont generate points on your license and come with an automatic fixed penalty of £100. The reason for this is that they are run by Transport for London..another one of our mate Ken's great ideas.

This is inside info chums and they do exist..not that any of you law abiding chaps would even consider breaking the speed limit

Ill update you on any other sites as and when i get the info.

 

back to using the QE2 bridge

 

Good times.

I will remember that for future reference.

 

wheres the blackwall tunnel??, what par of m25? cheers

 

its at the end of the A12 mate and start of the A2,,,, maybe ill have to find the rotherhide tunnel

typical that ken chooses more non endorsable fines for a tunnel with NO fucking accidents on cause theres always fucking traffic OR is there is its fucking side swipes rather than crashes,,,,,, but thats cause the tunnel is too narrow and twisty for lorrys and coaches to use !!!

 

Wanna know an interesting (or maybe "not" interesting) fact bout that Ginge? The reason the Blackwall tunnel and Rotherhithe tunnel are so twisty and turny is because they were originally built for horses, before cars existed. The twisty part was becuase horses had a tendency to bolt when they saw daylight, so the tunnels twist and bend so that daylight is seen only at the very end, and thus stopping horses bolting

Another useless fact brought to you by the forums friendly vaginal infection

 

Useless, but also kinda interesting

 

i like inside info

 

fine its better than points if ya do get caught

 

Me 2 nice one mate

not true mate, last year though not reported on tv, 2 death's (separate incidents)due to racing!, blackwall tunnel is just as bad for accidents if not worse due to being so tight, not too sure about them being speed camera's though there primary use is traffic monitoring due to accidents increasing in frequency. Main problem with any of the under passes in london is volume of traffic and most are being fitted out with camera's now.oh just for you info bufty's ou there even thought the rotherhithe tunnel has a speed limit of 20MPH! it still has speed camera's which are used and is in the top 10 of europes most dangerous tunnel! i will check the info out today and post back on what i find.

 

thats only on one side thought mate the other one is much starighter as it was built later on in the life of the motorcar

but i'd rather have a few quid taken from my pocket than gain points on my license if i were foolish enough to be caught speeding so ken

 

Just checked, so far they are only OBSERVATION cameras and not speed cameras, but this will be confirmed on tuesday!

 

i liked that tunnel too

 

If they are survelance cameras then there is something in the law that says they can't be used for road traffic enforcement. Something Westminster Council should be told as they always use their CCTV to shaft motorists and they have no legal grounds to do so.

If they are being used as sped cameras then they must be operated by the police or a safety *cough* partnership and be signed accordingly.

Ken Livingstone is a twat though

 

Ditto! The Limehouse link used to be good too... Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!!

 

all tunnels were good once, allways wondering how long before they camera up the dartfort tunnel

 

Eye in the sky is everywhere now.

FACT: There are more CCTV cameras in UK than anywhere alse in the whole of europe put together.
Privacy is not longer.
