speed scammeras
The big problem is that safety seems to be a bit of a side issue. How does an unmarked car with darkened windows and a bloke with a laser camera contribute to safety? they are just interested in the £60.
reason for my unhappiness is that i was done for 35 in 30, on a major A road, in a loosely spaced line of traffic, nowhere near a school or even a pedestrian. what am I supposed to do? drive down the road watching my speedo? what about watching the road?
innapropriate speeding is a different issue, no-one would have sympathy for someone doing 40mph past a school, or village postoffice etc. i see terrible driving, every day, on the A59 skipton to harrogate road, overtaking on bends/white lines etc. The only time i see a plod is at the end of a long straight section, with good viz and a camera that works to almost a mile.
Bah Humbug.
Rant over.
