I have just read a review on a cc site in the West Midlands where the wardens have put up a" name& shame"board,as they are having trouble with speeding .I know this as I have recently returned from said site.The poster of the review has put that they think it's,and I quote "a bit pathetic" .That to me is an insult to the wardens,as they are at least attempting a positive reaction to an ongoing problem .Any views on this? .Rant over .

I don't think it's a good idea, I wouldn't mind betting that one or two might get irate with the wardens and deny they did anything wrong. Don't know what the answer is except a few more visible (and friendly) walks around the site by the wardens.

Oh well just my thoughts..Frown (I'm not keen on the idea of shaming people on holiday rather than approaching them quietly as BB suggested.)

I wish I had some sort of built in speed detector that allowed me to discern a vehicle going in excess of 5mph then state it was 10mph or other, alas I'm only Human so I can't tellSad. I'd like to know if it'd stand up in court.

Whilst it's good to see wardens doing something about speeding I can't understand why they don't just walk up to the offender and have a word in their ear to the effect that they'll be asked to leave site next time they're caught speeding. Why go to the trouble of keeping a name and shame board? You're assuming the miscreant will be shamed. They may not give a damn.

Maybe they've already done that and it hasn't worked. We will probably never know.

..If one is spoken to "quietly", one may heed ,if one number is published it could deter numerous,and as we do not know the circumstances,we can but speculate ,

 

Ps does any one know if it was not a  "fake " number Wink

I don't think it is that difficult to tell the difference between a vehicle traveling at 5 mph and one doing 10 mph. No of course it would not stand up in court, but then it does not need to.

I suppose with all the dead and injured, damaged vehicles and equipment, and near misses that all these horrendous speed transgressions are causing we should encourage CC Ltd to do more to ensure our safety.  How about all campers having to show their competence to be allows on site by passing tests and examinations covering all aspect of camping, the expert and safe use of the related equipment and facilities, and knowledge of the rules.

It doesn't need to stand up in court true. . . .Just the CT kangaroo court. Part of the-'string em up because I don't like it' school of thought. It seems the older folk get the more they know of just how bad everyone is except themselves.
