Watch the birdies

As promised some bird pictures. (Only trouble is they won't upload at the moment, but I'm working on it)
But these are not the birdies you need to watch. They will be the "SPECS" camera's they are saying they will place along the A14 to cut down on accidents.
Why not just ban lorries from the outside lane and use a few unmarked police cars to enforce it. much too simple. Lets spend a few more hundreds of thousands of pound of tax payers money.
"After all we will soon recover it with our road charging income"
Income neutral! who do they think they are kidding?
How about getting every motorist in the country to hand over £600 to have a black box fitted so they can charge you to use the road. That will be interesting to watch.
Add to this a very little known proposal to reduce accidents and speed limits without changing a single road sign. Change all speed limits to KPH instead of MPH. So 70 MPH becomes 43 MPH, should successfully increase Co2 by 2/3rds. Who says MP's don't think.
