UK is 'plagued' by speed cameras
The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) has slammed Government roads policy for the "plague of speed cameras" and needlessly low speed limits.
"The key to driving safely is to look at the road ahead and to adjust your speed according to what you see," said Mark McArthur-Christie, the IAM's road safety spokesman.
He continued: "When the speed limit is set way below what is a reasonable and safe maximum for the road, drivers cannot do this without breaking the limit.
"When such limits are rigidly enforced, drivers can longer pay attention to upcoming hazards and lose the ability to recognise and respond to them correctly."
