Did you know that if you type in the word "speed cameras" into google and select "whole web" you only get hits from uk sites, am i right in thinking that its only the uk that uses speed cameras? or that only uk drivers are at their witts end with them?

Not sure - I turned a google searh for"speed cameras" into an alert which sends me an email everytime the term comes up.

So far I have had results from all over the world.

I'm guessing Google is giving preferred results based on location, so I suspect others in different countries would get different results.

Yep, it's Google picking up on your location.

Certainly Holland and France have speed cameras.
