Re: Man caught warning motorists of speed camera is fined

Yes, I would(and did when I was driving).......it serves the purpose.
Too often, the motorist is seen as a cash cow....speed cameras are rarely placed where they will do the most good(accident blackspots)......but they are placed where they will catch most motorists.

There is no evidence that speed cameras make the roads safer....in fact they may make them more dangerous. It is a well documented fact that motorists will slow down on the approach to a speed camera, then speed up again once they have passed the point where they can be 'flashed'.
