Hiya…don’t know if those speed gun ones get paid or not, you know the old dears that sit in a deckchair
on the bridges counting away the traffic flow, my mate used to do that 8 years ago…£15 per hour,
coffin dodgers or not its better pay than trucking today and home every night.i can’t get on the traffic
thing don’t know why.

Albion you’d be all for “Neighbour Watch” as you’re one of those holier than thou curtain twitchers that revel in Speed Watch, Neighbour Watch, Lorry Watch, and and other “Nosy Prick Sticks his nose in other peoples business” watch . The fairly new Neighbour Watch where I live keep sending out so many “come and join us” leaflets I’m going to need an extra recycling box to file them under R with.

Nice one!
At the end of the day if they want to make where you live a better place then it can’t be a bad thing ,
would people be moaning if it was a copper nicking you for speeding through a village instead of some old ■■■■ taking number plates
Used to love going past speed traps in my old minisport prepared metro,
29 mph in 1st gear and it kinda loud.
Think its folk with nothing better to do,
What they need to do is clock school run mums blatting past at 50!!!
School Mums double parking causing chaos to drop Little Darlings Julietta and Horice off when they can walk a mile to school.

Make that Christian Aid donation envelope to file under R too. Is there a “Charity Watch” where you’re into warned of charities knocking on doors when you’re eating your tea? That would be worthwhile.
I don’t have a problem with people trying anything to stop cars speeding through residential areas. Inconsiderate pricks doing 40 in a 30 limit - such as the one I live in, for instance - are a scourge. If what it takes is a gang of retired people pointing hairdryers at passing traffic, so be it.
Don’t see an issue with some speed awareness especially at school chucking out time . We have a 40kph limit in our village , 30kph past parks and the school , plenty fast enough .
On a serious note, I’ll tell y’all now, if you’ve ever witnessed somebody ‘of age’ genuinely fighting for their life (“coffin dodging”) for any prolonged period of time, you’d choose your words more carefully.
It’s a despicable term.

You know nothing about me and you are barking up the wrong tree.Most would prefer having nosy neighbours rather than thieving scumbags.
Unfortunately society has brought all this watching business on itself.Gone downhill just like driving standards.

Go and renew your subscription to Brake or some other useless charity.
I know the village in question and I have to say that 30 is plenty fast enough through there. Speeding in 30 limits boils my ■■■■ tbh, slightly hypocritical I know as I ignore the blanket 40mph s/c limit, but hey, whaddya do?
A lot of the problem is perception, and I’m acutely aware that me travelling through a village at 30mph appears to be travelling faster than a car doing 40 at the same point. What I do notice however is that when I’m travelling at the 30 limit I’m often overtaken by impatient car drivers but rarely encounter HGV’s pushing me. Just an observation.
Great attitude muckaway.
Speed watch was born by the need to do two things.
Allow residents to check the speed of vehicles driving through their village.
Allow residents to gain the knowledge that often vehicles aren’t going as fast as they think they are.
They only operate in 30 zones and in those 30 zones that are built up areas.
Locals are generally the largest percentage of those caught, usually school run brigade.
Professional drivers obviously won’t have a problem with this or the 30 limit because they realise the risks involved more than the average driver.
Guessing not everyone here gets paid to drive then.
They don’t worry me, hit the limiter button at 27ish and then watch their disappointed faces when they think the nasty juggernaut is speeding but isn’t.
My attitude is great, people know not to ask me for donations, join Neighbour Watch etc.

The only people who don’t like speed watch are speeders
The only people who don’t like neighbourhood watch are burglars
If people helped each other more the world would be a better place.
Truck drivers used to be called knights of the road.
Well said Jamie.These days of knights of the road have long gone unfortunately.
Attitudes have changed as we can see a lot of the time on this forum.
Sad really.
