Dear All, Happy 2025! Its hard to believe that its now 20 years since I started BTST. In that time, I’ve witnessed significant changes in our country. Sadly, mostly for the worse… So, for the now traditional New Years Day newsletter, I wanted to talk about hope. As most of us are now aware, we’ve witnessed …
Dear All, I have alerts set up to receive articles relating to speed cameras every day.

Dear All, A insidious new type of mobile “road safety” camera, which mounts to the roof of cars and vans is being rolled out across 10 new “police” forces. We first notified Members of the cameras being tested 7 months ago, in Kent and Cornwall… They can either be static — like the speed camera vans we …
A “fake” 50mph sign was placed on the A20 in Kent last month: It caused 1000’s of drivers to receive a speeding ticket after the speed limit had been“temporarily” reduced by Transport for London… The so-called police said the 50mph sign was installed by “an unauthorised third party” in January, just as speed cameras were …
