Re: Mobile Speed Cameras

There is an inherent problem with speed cameras. they only work for the hundred yards or so by them. You could spend 99% of your time above the speed limit and by local knowledge and being observant not get caught. The only saving grace for them to me is that they can be focussed on particular blackspots, e.g. why the heck there isn't one either side of the Brit X roads to make sure the cars going along Hassy old road are doing 30 when they approach that junction beggars belief.


Now an extra couple of hundred plod driving randomly around making sure people aren't eating/drinking, shaving, reading papers, driving with fog lights on, paying attention to the road etc. THAT would make a difference. As would regular testing of all drivers.
