I agree. Speed cameras are a pain in the arse. Not because i get caught out because i never have.
however this comment...
What is supposed to be measured? how many G's you pull in the corner down the high street? what geer your in? how fast you accelerated form the lights? Or even how many minors you got on your test?
I can imagine the following...
Plod - "ello ello ello, 50 in a 30 area sonny jim!"
Mr Smith - "Thats ok i only got 3 minors on my test"
or
Plod - "ello ello ello, going a bit fast there sir..."
Chav in nova - "Tis safe man i is a rite wickid driver innit, i always win on ma ex-box"
Plod - "Oh well thats ok then carry on"
I believe that is misleading, Speed has a massive impact on accidents. And the advert with the little girl on the road against the tree shows that. I dont believe speed cameras make any difference. There are not that manny arround northampton.. but i know where every single one is. Cameras are the wrong way to stop speeding. But because i cant agree with the comments with the petition i wont sign it.
