speedking

To quote greasemonkey from this thread about a 206 GTi fatac, but not wanting to hijack that thread.

There are some roads like this round my way. Quite safe to do 80mph in a NSL, long straights no junctions, excellent visibility. Many drivers do it. But, on a Saturday night, the lads are out racing, probably drunk, often in stolen cars. Just about every other weekend some poor roadsign gets flattened. Eventually a camera will appear. Will it stop the pissed up kids in stolen cars flattening street furniture, NO. Will innocent motorists get caught up in the crossfire, yes.

I will have contributed towards the £40000 that will not cure the actual problem.

Where I live, there are NO fixed cameras, but LOADS of mobile ones.


Despite the fact that the mobile ones only lower the number of accidents (according to Govt figs) by a ratio of 1:2.2 to fixed ones, guess which type our local Scam partnership wants to buy 5 more of?

And guess which type generates 4 times the fines of the other?????

That's so they can hide a van more often on the M180.

They park one of their scamera vans on the grass verge within the zig-zag's of a Zebra crossing in Goole. Which just happens to be the entrance to a park. I'm not quite sure how safe or legal that is, but I'll get a picture one day.

I've lived in the area for over 30 years and I can't actually remember any kind of serious RTA on that road, and as they've just gone back to some government minister to say the camera's are used in places that meet the guidelines (or something like that), they should very quickly be able to provide me with the same statistics to say why the camera is there.........

Has anybody ever done this?

If you look at safespeed the problem is that the rules that govern the placing of speed cameras are cocked up anyway.
