I'll have to get a picture of them and post them here. They have these weird wirey brush-like appendages sticking out of the tops of them. Could be some sort of antenna but they're freaky looking and it bothers me whenever I have to stop at that intersection.

I have to laugh when I hear people boast about their speeding antics and the fact that speed cameras are only there to produce revenue.
I yearn for the day cars are restricted by engine capacity, so the weak willed are not tempted to view the accelerater as an on off switch.
IMO, when those caught speeding are repeat offenders, they should be fined, get points and be restricted to a vehicle that is not capable of going over the national speed limit.

Same here Chorlton i also gained 3 points for this and bought myself a sat nav that also gives warnings of speed cameras. I read somewhere this week though that the authorities are thinking of making these detectors illegal as cameras are meant to be there for safety and we shouldnt have prior knowledge of there whereabouts. Load of crap i think as they just want to keep the cash rolling in. Speed cameras must make the authorities a heck of a lot of money

Heres anpother site that shows how some people deal with them. The favourite is to throw a tyre over it, a splash of petrol then run !!!

This scheme ended on March 31 2007 and cameras are now controlled locally - with money from central funds available to finance local safety schemes and education programmes.

So you can put your hand on your heart and honestly say in your entire life you have never gone say 5 MPH over the speed limit? which was what I got done for (well 7 mph over actually)
Sorry but I simply cant believe it.

I got a £60 fine and 3 points on my licence after thrashing my friends Morgan V8 along the A303.
If certain speed cameras are not revenue collectors why are they hidden behind obstacles

Not having ever had a driving license, let alone a car, yes I can say that with honesty.
Sounds a little like you were racing Chorlton, the Wheelies would be truly disappointed with your lack of self-control.
