This will be for three reasons

1) To make more money
2) To ncrease the % of people caught so more Criminals cqan get off
3) To increase peoples repect for pthe Police

i think i got caught yesterday. i was driving towards the back of a camera but didnt see the camera van sitting in front of it as i over took a post van

whats the point of having tow cameras at the same point?

prolly to catch people like me

its not fair that motorbikes can get away with it

Change the law overnight to get easy cash.

Don't bother changing the law to help prosecute unisured drivers, car thieves, etc

I think they're a little more risky than someone doing 35 in a 30 on an open road. I don't condone speeding but it's easy to drift a little over the limit (as well as under).

This country is a joke, do the people that actually make these decisions actually drive?

This move is so obviously about money I cannot believe they have the gaul to do this. They try to sell the speed kills message, and then say they are going to position speed camera where they have been no serious accidents. If there have been no serious accidents then there is no problem.

We are starting to see their policy unravel, last year fatal accidents rose. This comes after cars offer better crash protection to occupants, electronic aids to avoid the accident in the first place, not to mention safer road junctions and lower speed limits.

At some point they will just have to admit this policy is not about road safety, and is simply a means to extort more cash.
