I got my confirmation last night, so just got to hope the postman can find the right letterbox in a few days time. I'll be proudly displaying the sticker then. |

I've just finished processing the requests received to date and am off out to dispatch several hundred envelopes, I was taken aback by the response!
I know need to buy another few hundred stamps and envelopes. Returned home from my weekend away last night and spent nearly 3hrs then and another two this morning processing all the requests with Mrs G filling envelopes phew! _________________ Darren Griffin |

Jakers!!! Spotting Eddies is hard enough and they're somewhat larger than these stickers. _________________ Andy

Somebody's obviously very good at editing photos - but that size is more like it, totally unmissable!! _________________ Andy

Just don't, whatever you do, stick these anywhere on your car.
If police see any kind of anti-speed camera technology, they tend to love pulling you over for speeding (to show you that your technology doesn't work) where they perhaps normally wouldn't bother. The presence of this sticker therefore, probably has a similar effect in that it annoys the officers and shows that you've probably got something on board that lets you spot the traps. |

You must have a dodgy police force in your area!
I have a dedicated GPS speed camera 'locator' (not Sat Nav) on the centre of my dash, often seen by passing police where i park the car, who have shown lot's of interest in it.
They have more questions around where can i get one, than it annoying them. _________________ TomTom Go 60

Sorry but if you think your average RPU or Traffic Officer has time to pull drivers over for such spurious reasons then you're very much mistaken.
Having been one I can assure you they have much better things to be doing and many more pressing matters. If you have been subject to such then you were either very unlucky or there were was more to the story. _________________ Darren Griffin |

I don't recall that and can't find any record of your email? We didn't even decide to produce stickers until earlier this year? Any-hoo, if you apply as instructed in the first post I'll ensure you get the sticker. _________________ Darren Griffin |
