Why and how could a metal box on a post by the side of the road demand any more concentration from you than the thousands of streetlights and trees you pass every journey?

Because even if I am not speeding I check my speedo 2 or 3 times going by a camera to make sure I don't get flashed. Your comments about trees and streetlights are facile.

Am I missing something here?

Obviously.

Mosis your attitude and even your screen name suggest that you regard yourself as Holier than God.

Your emotive outbursts and your published plans to basically piss off other drivers so that you may film their dangerous reactions would lead me to believe that you are infact positively dangerous.

Come on now boys and girls!! leave mosis alone....have you not seen the film se7en? we know where things can lead if overwhelming feelings of self righteous are ridiculed and pilloried!!

Cameras in your car?, never ever exceeded a speed limit? you really are a diamond.

This has turned into a troll fest but I still stand by original post, that for the typical high mileage business driver, particularly those who cover unfamiliar roads, keeping a licence let alone a clean one is nigh on impossible. Of course this paragraph was not directed at the special one amongst us.

By the way I do live in south wales, and yes it is about as bad as it gets although warks and cambs are probably the very pinicle of scammer heaven.

Me too. Very similar. But I strongly believe that speed camera move concentration away from areas that matter more. Do you REALLY think that speed cameras make better drivers? If so how?


Didn't you mean to say that speed cameras move YOUR concentration away from areas that matter more?


No. Certainly not.

I have made a very considerable study of the process of safe driving, and the speedometer is more of a hinderance than an assistance. Certainly speed limits are useful for nicking the occasional nutter, but the vast majority need more emphasis on safe practice and less emphasis on speed limit compliance.

Can I please remind all posters to attack the argument rather than the individual?
