Another, maybe new, argument for speed cameras

"Speed cameras may become more prevalent because enforcing the speed limit reduces fuel use and so cuts greenhouse gas emissions. "

Wow I am amazed at the lengths they go to to keep up the outcry for speed cameras. Unbelievable!!!!!

1. My vehicle is more economical when doing 55 - 60 than 30 - 40. Enforcing poinless limits uses MORE fuel not less.
2. Slowing to 25 mph in a 40 limit because the cretin in front does not trust the camera, then accelerating (gently) back up to 40 uses MORE fuel, not less.
3. Cameras do not STOP speeders even when above the limit, they merely send a bill in the post a few days later. If speeding was dangerous, then they are allowing a dangerous act to take place WITHOUT taking any measures to prevent it!

I think the slipping of speed enforcement ruined what was otherwise a good report.

Paper is nothing. Guess how the scamers get to work and from camera to camera.
