Nick Palmer, Labour MP for Broxtowe, Notts, is adamant drivers should know what the limit is as they approach a camera, or else they may unwittingly pick up a fine and points. His draft Road Traffic Signs (Enforcement Cameras) Bill would make it mandatory for all the necessary information to be displayed on each sign.
Take a look at the maddest...
Take a look at the maddest Caterham the firm has ever produced. With an incredible 500bhp V8 powerplant the new RST-V8 Levante promises to be one of the fastest cars in the world – but it comes with a price tag of ?115,000.
Caterham has joined forces with high performance tuning experts RS Performance to come up with this incredible coachbuilt flagship.
At the heart of the RST is the amazing 40-valve 2.4-litre V8 powerplant. Even in naturally aspirated form the unit produces 400bhp, while in supercharged guise the engine delivers 500bhp. Don’t expect the performance delivery to be at all civilised, as peak power arrives at a screaming 10,000rpm.
With a power to weight ratio of over 1,000bhp per tonne, the six-speed Caterham sprints from 0-60mph in less than three seconds and on to a top speed electronically limited to 150mph.
The range-topping thriller will only be built to order, and takes around 12 weeks to complete. The ?115,000 price tag includes the extensive use of weight saving materials including a carbon fibre interior and Kevlar seats.
