Has anyone seen anythign abotu how exactly these devices are going to indicate which car the police should pull?

would be no good sending them a message saying "the car with 195/50/15 goodyear eagles"...

presume it's linked to some kind of camera which will transmit a photo f the car going over the device?

Fair enough I reckon... Someone riding around on knackered tyres is more dangerous than someone doing 34 in a 30 zone...

and yet more police officers sitting at the side of the road, catching the reals criminals out there - evil evil dirty dirty motorists

scum of the earth, and such great revenue generators

We need more traffic coppers rather than automatic devices which can never be relied on completely.

i think we have enough traffic cops tbh

the police service is rapidly turning from a public service into a buisness

altho can agree machines are in essense not ideal either.

whats the stats on deaths per year from car accidents resulting from bald tyres?

anyone shed some light?

they wont work.. too many factors will effect the outcome. besides it needs funding that the govenment will not do right now. they have polish people to feed..

Oh dear, bet we see tons (tonnes?!?) of them in Surray (intentional SP) , Beds, Northants and none what so ever in Bradford etc.

Would be interesting if they were used on Motorway slip roads and access roads to town centres.

at 43k per one, i think they're better off employing more police than spending on gadgets.

We have not nearly enough traffic cops. If we had the numbers we should have then there would be a lot fewer dangerous cars on the road without MOT/tax/and insurance.

The automatic cameras etc do not find people with cars like that out as well as not being fully reliable, and when we had plenty of traffic cops they were largely very fair and used common sense when dealing with the public. Those who really deserved it used to get done and that was fair enough.
