That sounds amazing! A physical mod to give it a trigger and a programming mod to display photo-realistic explosions, and I reckon they are on to a winner!

That's my take on things. I have been done a couple of times in 20 years of driving, and just see it as an occupational hazard of being a modern motorist - everyone speeds a bit, everyone gets done from time to time.
I have noticed a lot more speed traps in the Glasgow area recently (passed two, safely of course
) on my 20 minute commute this morning.

Take a leaf out of my book and don't speed, those speedlimits are set for a reason.
Can anyone tell me what the reason is?
What principles are adopted for setting them?
How different drivers, cars and road conditions are taken into consideration?
I'm looking forward to stamping on the brakes at Gretna when coming north (ref English motorways being lifted to 80MPH limit yet Scottish Goverment thinks 70 is enough)..

i was a van, but Ali got pulled on the way down by a couple of cops playing hide and sneek behind some bushes.
I think they were apologetic for pulling him over and having to tread him like every other joe bloggs

How come they were apologetic? As in they thought it was stupid they had to pull him too?

They were apparently apologetic when they pulled one of our group (not me) on the way home from TT, just north of Abz. No NiP though.
