  1. aye - because if it was a mobile speed gun, they are legally obliged to inform you that speed camera's are operating in the area at elast 200 yards prior to the camera...(not too sure on the specifics of the distance...)

     

    Completely wrong. They do not have to have any notification of cameras at all.

     

    From the Department for Transport website

     

    What is the law governing safety cameras, speed limits and safety camera signs?

     

    The law does not require drivers to be warned about the presence of safety cameras. However, the Government wants drivers to know both the speed limit on any given stretch of road, and also that camera enforcement is taking place.

     

    Drivers sometimes think that a speeding penalty is not valid if the route is not signed correctly with safety camera warning signs. This is not the case. The only signing that is required in law for a speeding offence to be valid is that the speed limit of the road must be properly signed. The placing or visibility of speed camera warning signs has no bearing on the enforcement of offences detected by safety cameras and does not provide any mitigation of or defence for an alleged speeding offence.

  2. In my opinion Bruges and Ghent (also spelled Gent) both knock the spots off Brussels as a place to visit for a few days. However if I had a completely free choice I would go to Berlin - having worked there for several years, I would have to put it as my favourite city in Europe with plenty to do to keep you occupied for a week. Ryan Air fly from Stansted to Berlin Schonefeld for around £100 return.

  3. Mrs JTC has a Renault Grand Scenic and we have 2 child seats on the back seat which still give room for an adult to sit between them. There is also the extra row of seats in the boot for when grandparents visit. She has the 1.5 Dci which frankly is a little underpowered but still give 50 mpg and road tax is about £120 if I remember rightly.
