Lisa used to work for a car rental company. What happened there was that you had to have a credit card to rent, and if any tickets came in the post, they just billed your card.

Hi Asif,
The A14 has plenty of cameras especially around the Bury St Edmunds area - there's also a nasty accident blackspot called the "Haughley Bends" where there's a 50mph speed limit that needs adhering to!
The stretch of the A14 between Huntingdon and the M6 isn't too bad, the cameras are very visible but not too close together.

They've just put up a few new cameras on the A1 near Biggleswade and reduced the limit to 60mph (needlessly IMHO as this is not an accident blackspot). Further north the run up to Peterborough where it's 4 lanes wide can be fun and no cameras when I last went that way.

Enjoy your visit.

Here's a laugh a mate of mine sent me a picture once of a Lotus Esprit MARKED police car spotted in (i think) Kent. I'll try and see if he still has the photo and post it!!

PERFECT! Thats exactly the kind of information I needed.

PS-I love that new 4 lane expansion just south of Peterborough. Great!
