Do they monitor your broadband speed, or point hair-dryers at your car?


The latter.


I don't mind if it is taking a real problem like twonks flying past the
school at 40+ (or 30+ in a 20).

But a bunch of curtain twitchers getting excited about pulling everyone
doing 1mph over the posted limit gets this sort of activity a bad name.

They don't pull anybody. They note the numbers of cars that exceed the
speed limit and by how much and pass those to the Police. Persistent
offenders then may get a visit from the Police, who can do no more than
advise them of the dangers of speeding.

The whole thing being a stupid, pointless waste of time and money.


For the price of a couple of high visibility jackets, a clip board and a
radar gun, the Police can avoid having to deal with a whole village
worth of complaints that they are not doing anything about speeding
motorists.
