I just thought I'd share this with you !

I don't know what this country is coming to, but I've had reason to travel to County Durham, from Worcester, twice in the last few days.

When I went up on Saturday, I thought there were a lot of scameras, so on my trip today, I thought I'd try to count them.

33 on the way up, 51 on the way down, so 84 in total, route was M5, M42, A42, M1, M18, A1/A1M, and vice versa

I also saw three Police patrols.

Add to that variable speed limits, hard shoulder running, cycle lanes, advanced stop lines for poxy cyclists, bus lanes with different rules/times of operation in every area

Given that I only have to annoy 4 of these scameras in a 3 year period and I'm on the dole, and all the other crap they give you to read, bus lane details, car ps off lanes, car share lanes, congestion zones, tfl in poxy London, are "they" really making roads safer ?

At least Durham is scammer free - at least it was.

Good, we will see what effect these have on the behaviour of the rats.
You are now but this.
In the eyes of those "above".
