ANPR

Automatic Number Plate Recognition.
CCTV cameras used in the UK (and elsewhere) used to log road vehicle movements by reading the vehicle number plates using OCR technology.
ANPR is used to enforce the London congestion charge, in SPECS speed cameras, and from March 2006, all road vehicle movements on main roads in the UK (along with petrol stations, supermarkets and Motorway service areas) will be logged by the police for unspecified purposes.

undertake

To overtake a vehicle on the wrong side. Dangerous, and illegal in many countries, especially Germany where Autobahn (motorway/freeway) laws are extremely strict. Favourite activity of audi man, usually at dangerous speed. Audi man will also cut you up afterwards.

EG, in the UK where one drives on the left and overtakes on the right, passing on the left is undertaking.

Tamworth

Town, pop 80,000, 10 miles NE of Birmingham (Brum). Shithole, full of people on the dole. Home to burning cars, 1960's architecture and gatso speed cameras. See also: Vauxhall nova, scally.

Tamworth's full of fucking scallies driving in Novas.

bus racing

Outdoor game in London, or any other congested city. Players must race against a bus on foot. Very easy in the West End, much more difficult in suburbs. Very similar to bus pontoon.

"The tube was on strike again so I spent the day bus racing"
