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'.
Be wary of these vans , they can and do catch you speeding both ways .
