| I'm a convert. Cameras are for milking the motorists to fund the police who are all corrupt. I know whats safe and whats not and who do the police think they are to tell me anything. Just think my speeding tickets paid for the war in Iraq. I have blood on my hands. As a respectable citizen who never... |

| If you drove at the speed limit like you are supposed to then you would notice that you are speeding by by looking out of the windows - that big bit of glass in front of you. You know when you are speeding. Actually at best you could only tell within a few MPH what your exact speed would be. It tak... |

| Also has anybody noticed how people actually dont speed for a short amount of time when there is a speed camera? Actually you are wrong. Several motorists are on 9 points apparently - which says they DID NOT slow down. Yet nobody stopped them from speeding, they let them get on with it, so they cou... |

| This is not about people "wanting to speed", it is simply that most drivers naturally drive at a safe speed for the conditions, and forcing them to disrupt their normal driving pattern and instead limit their speed to an arbitrary number on a stick is dangerous. I know what you are about. I know yo... |

This will be my last post The irony :D In my posts I have said that I can see why people dont like speed cameras and why... |

| I'm noticing that you make virtually no attempt to answer issues rasied by other posters. Many serious issues have been raised, well worthy of answers. So in other words, we have ANOTHER 'driver' who can't even maintain a constant, steady speed... Why would "maintain[ing] a constant, steady speed" ... |

| itdontgo, thank you for cheering up my morning. Your thread title "Speed cameras are Excellent" is one of the most blatant juvenile attempts to be antagonistic I have seen on this forum. It made me chuckle. May be you should become a spokesperson for Brake? Juvenille? If you say so. Antagonistic? I... |

| Besides I am happy that people cant go around driving in an irresponsible manner anymore and its worth the occasional speed ticket if you ask me. This smacks of a trolling attempt, but speed cameras don't do anything to protect us from: * Joyriders * Stolen vehicles * Drunk drivers * Uninsured driv... |

| Wasn't there a quote from the head of the London Ambulance Service some time ago saying that for every "X" minutes delay in heart attack call-outs there was a "Y" percent increase in the chane of death? Can't remember the actual numbers but it sounded like a good factual argument. It might have the... |

| To some extent Brake has a point. Ambulances and fire engines are big vehicles and the damage they could do in an accident is pretty severe. Having said that you could also reason there might not be an accident if they speed and they might end up saving more lives than they lose by speeding. Who kno... |

| Isn't the answer not to speed then? Its pretty easy you know. You just watch the little needle and make sure it doesn't go past the little 30 or 40 or 50 sign (whichever is appropriate). Another little tip is that the scenery starts going a bit faster if you exceed the limit too so keep an eye on th... |

| Has anybody noticed how the first gear crawl along the M6 in rush hour is eased by the 40mph speed camera monitored section? Its excellent isn't. Also has anybody noticed how people actually dont speed for a short amount of time when there is a speed camera? Speed cameras are great aren't they? And ... |
