I could be wrong never having been there but wouldn't that be private property.If so then the ticket would be a civil matter & be a parking charge/surcharge rather than a fine.Who owns the airport & the land?

 

Probably is private, but I was wondering if they were CSWs in the van. It may be that it is an anti terrorist unit and may be run by an authority like the customs but it was still over the top. It was absolutely clear that this was not an abandoned car posing a terrorist threat.

I have no problem with speed cameras and the like but if they really are for road safety why do the sneeky gets put them on straight duel carriageways and yet out side our primary school there is nowt and drivers blaring by! Just a cash cow and nowt about road safety Imo.

Lots of good points mentioned from both sides.

Everybody is precious about their own whether it be village, kids, horses or cyclists.

The world I grew up in was progressive. Hardly any speed limits, bypasses, no traffic calming obstacles/irritations.

You were taught to survive, look both ways, take care when on foot. Not blindly be on your phone with earplugs in and get hit and sue later.

People's Driving irritates me. Warning I slow down for horses sticker in back window tart rushing everywhere recklessly until she sees a horse. People who fully intend to stop and wait at every roundabout then carve you up as they take both lanes. Cyclists in packs that you have to speed to get past them in a speed limit or cause congestion.

Villages that " oh they've got a speed limit in next village we need one more than them" and the unnessasary lengths of speed limits. You hardly ever see a pedestrian near them. School 20 mph zones 24hrs a day 365 days a year. I've actually worked out the actual percentage of that time it's valid. Certainly not at 2am when Bolams puffing a joint on way back from pub blathered.

Like all politics people are self centred, you drive carefully through my village, I'll drive fast through yours it doesn't affect me.

Also the extreme cotton wool dictatorship that we are going through. I read an article in a mag why boxing and mma is so popular is because, society is tired of being restrained and told what to do. You can break regular rules and have a near death experience.

 

Driving is to get to places. Technology and engineered safety is getting better all the time. Whereas we are regulated to be slower. It's frustrating and all the more so when imperfect people get self righteous about it.
