  15. We have had the 20mph in Oxford for around 2 years now even on the main routes and beleive you its hard to drive safely whilst looking at your speedo ...on the very 1st day it was implemented around 20 bus drivers got snapped by the ANPR vans and after alot of argueing etc with the powers that be the bus drivers got a let off .....and the complete ring road / bypass is set at 50 mph its all a bleeding joke and yes the ANPR and static cameras are everywhere
  16. The car park was full of old Fords mine included whilst it was all kicking off the place was packed as usual though all the trouble was nothing what so ever to do with OSF types or even any of the tyre squeeling that goes on it was a load of local louts throwing stuff at a police car on the roundabout around an hour before the police turned up in force ....then we were all told to get out the car park by the management
