Excellent news .... as with Speed Cameras - if you have nothing to hide you will care not one jot!
Safe in the knowledge that ***** with bald tyres are getting fined and taken off the roads!
Made my day!!

If it isn#t bad enough we already have olive drab mobile speed cameras under cam nets in bushes we now have these things hidden in roads.

What if your tyre is covered in mud? As in filling most of the grooves? What if it was covered in horse-**** after going over the droppings from the police horse that's just passed by? How about "calibration"? Does it do motorbikes (being a biker I'm interested ...)? What about trailors? Buses? Lorries? etc etc

I think this won't work
Tyres only have to have 1.6 across centre 3/4 off the TREAD. Not the tyre on a asymmetric tyre this may only be the centre groove the rest is classed as shoulder therefore can be bald
I am a mot tester by the way and have looked into this

Did anyone read the article, it doesn't say the machine issues fines, it said the machine helps screen cars to be then pulled over and manually checked as per usual.....

Completely stupid idea in my eyes, yet another example of trying to manage through technology and very blatent money collection method. Whats wrong with old fashioned police cars on the road pulling those cars that seem suspect.

Interesting idea, will probably roll them out at the popular ANPR locations that they use often for when they have a ANPR op's on and utilise half the road policing force on that particular op for the day or period of op.
as a previos post said will be interesting to see how they will keep these maintained, it probably has a self test/calibrate mode anyway so when PC Points comes along he can press a button at the monitoring site to check its working before sitting up for the day.
Its almost as interesting as the mobile phone camera that is a camera attached to a radio wave receiver monitoring for rises in the 4 bands we use in the uk for mobile phone coverage, if it detects a flux in its receiver it sets the camera off, that image is then sent to the speed camera office where it is checked to see if the phone is being used hands free (much the same as every speeding ticket is checked by a real person before sent out) if phone in hand a fine is sent..............................haha Vicious Rumors, they aint made that yet and i say YET as it can be done, quite easy really

regular calibration after being driven over buy 200 hgv's per day - im sure wont cause any delays
never mind diferrenciate between widths of tyres and try calculate 3/4 width of tyres
and are uk laws not different from road cars to hgvs?
i smell bull ****,
what about european/foreign vehicles using our roads. do they need to comply with uk laws - a genuine question?
i think wont happen
