Must have been a very well disguised or well worded survey as normally scamera surveys come out at 70% against! Ho hum....

So now they can be anywhere, no need for any accidents, just the views of busy-body MOP will do.

IF there were genuine complaints about 'speed' in villages etc I would have no problem deploying mobiles there, but for some reason I think the pesky things will crop up in NSL most of the time.

Interesting, I would of thought areas with a history were more likely to have accidents or was what I learned working the local council rubbish? I presume the fines will be given to the local councils to reengineer the roads since they are dangerous enough that they need speed camera enforcement?

I'll paraphrase this statement.

You don't reduce drug misuse without concentrating on people who don't take them.

Daft or what?
