| Cooler, you're right Plymouth (and Exeter) are well covered by cameras as are the main routes, the trick is to get onto the back roads. There are some excellent drivers roads, the main problem particularly in Cornwall is seeing far enough up the road to safely progress :twisted: I assume the average... |

| My imported car was converted to read speed in MPH from KPH, it now reads 0 - 180 in MPH but has no secondary KPH markings. My understanding was that cars sold in the UK must show speed in MPH, but no requirement for KPH. |

| "I agree this can't be pinned on the car driver. The bike was clearly crossing in front of the car and, presumably, braking to enter the layby. It will be interesting to see if any prosecution results. That seems unlikely given the quote from the police. Police are not investigating the incide... |

| Obviously, without witnessing the event in person or from a camera further back it is impossible to tell what really caused this accident. But I certainly wouldn't immediately assume the car driver was tailgaiting and is to blame. Yes, I think this is the problem with the footage you cannot see the... |

| Front page news in Plymouth's Evening Herald. http://tinyurl.com/ej79a This video shows how nearly all crashes occur on this section of road. I travel on this road daily and see a number of accidents each month, in my opinion nearly all of them caused by tailgating. This road is a NSL dual carriagew... |
