  some will be up in arms, i rather like the idea - especially if it catches drivers on mobile phones.

  Unless they are faulty speed cameras of any kind only catch those breaking the law, long may they function.

  mobile phone users are the worst offenders, i see them all the time doing a right turn into main roads whilst engrossed in conversation.

  I was watching someone the other day drinking out of one of those big thermos cup mug things whilst still driving. It was in the morning just on London road just passed Coombe Valley Rd.
  I think this is where they should do it from ,all the way along London rd especially school times!

  sometimes i see drivers up to the level of that famous episode of mr bean when he was late for a dental appointment.

  I believe smoking while driving should be treated in the same way as using a mobile phone, the act of getting a cigarette out lighting it placing in to the mouth using the ash tray and then putting it out when finished have to be a real distraction to the driver.

  good idea martin, it would have the knock on effect of stopping people emptying their ashtrays in the gutter.

  Surely his ex wife should also be charged for perverting the course of justice?

  Maybe she is considered to have Turned Queen's Evidence?
  
  Of course he should not be Con-Dem-ed out of hand.

  If they colluded in the deception I am surprised the charge is not one of conspiracy.
