Gyn_Paul Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I came in the other lunchtime and turned on TF1's 13 Heures to catch the last 15 seconds of an item they were carrying which was something about fixed radar speed cameras and GPS's.Did anyone see it? Was it just confirmation of the plan to remove the fixed radar notice boards + a reminder that radar detector devices are illegal, spiced up with a foot or so of library pictures, or was it news of some new draconian measure making a GPS, which tells you were the fixed sites are, equally verboden (as in Switzerland) ?It seems to me that removing the radar notification signs is confirmation that the fixed radars have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with making the roads safer; they are simply a revenue stream for the government.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Were TF1 talking about an "avertisseur de radar".http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/2644476/ShowPost.aspxor the final switch to numerique in languedoc and rousillon;http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/2/2645498/ShowPost.aspx#2645498[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I had an ADSL service fast enough to actually view it in chunks longer than 50 frames at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
