  • I hate speed trap cameras!

    Why?  Well, not only are they dangerous (because the first thing anyone does when going past one is slam on their brakes and constantly watch the speedo rather than the road), and used more-often-than-not as a money generating opportunity (like when they’re put in supposed ‘black spot’ areas, and it’s a place where I’ve never…

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!
