   The package "motion" is designed to do this. Unfortunately we have two
cars outside, and I do not have a designated parking place so either could
be a few feet away from the normal position. There is also the problem of
possible damage from passing traffic; a Royal Mail articulated lorry wrote
off 7 cars, various street furniture, and a considerable amount of private
fencing about 200 yards from the start of the 30mph road.
