Ain't that the truth, nice day, light traffic, bumbling along at overvthevspeed limit, but not in a danderous way - that's when you get caught. Beware average speed cameras, some now have speed cameras aswell.There but for fortune......... I guess I've been lucky so far.
What annoys me is that I'm sure there is as much fund raising as safety involved in the operation. I've often seen the mobile trap van early in a morning, when traffic is at a minimum, and there is actually no danger caused by a few extra MPH. On top of that it's been on roads where the long standing limit has been recently lowered.
I personally think that the average speed systems are more effective at controlling speed and fairer in that they don't punish a momentary breach like the camera vans do.
Totally agree with you, 100%. Speed cameras of all flavours are a good revenue raiser. Speeding IMHO should only be a fixed penalty offence with no points on your licence unless it's excessive speeding eg 20mph above the limit.300 mile trip yesterday. Noticed 1 mobile camera on a bridge.
But encountered undertaking, excessive speeding, people on phones, cars towing in the 3rd lane of the motorway.
Speed cameras are a rather blunt tool and no wonder driving standards have dropped so much.
Well that's a good one. The worst lane hogging I've observed on many occasions is two HGVs side by side for long distances, sometimes finishing with the attempted overtaker eventually dropping back.One thing on the course I did learn is that lorry drivers are sending dashcam footage to the Police to report lane hoggers and they are getting fined.
My local plod have been asking the general public to send any dashcam evidence they have to prosecute motorists.One thing on the course I did learn is that lorry drivers are sending dashcam footage to the Police to report lane hoggers and they are getting fined.

I dont see it as policing on the cheap, I have no issues in helping the police which is helping to maintain law and order for me and my family. I have reported 2 drink drivers and in both cases they were lifted and banned, I have no guilt over this at all.saves having police on the roads, jsut let someone snitch on others and send them the video allowing office staff to deal with all prosecutions with no consideration for any background info (like the camera car being the cause of the incident in the first place)
policing on the cheap. same with the cameras. no wonder people have no respect for police
It's definitely policing on the cheap, but I'm not against it per se. You just have to view some of the you tube videos to see how bad some people's driving is. What does concern me is overtaking dreadful drivers, the sort that go around hedgerow lanes at 20 mph, or slow down to stare at the view - get a lot of tourists who drive like that in my area. So you overtake them and risk getting fined.I dont see it as policing on the cheap, I have no issues in helping the police which is helping to maintain law and order for me and my family.

in addition to normal policing is good. instead they reducing policing on the streets and instead relying on this to prosecute bad driving. policing on the cheapI dont see it as policing on the cheap, I have no issues in helping the police which is helping to maintain law and order for me and my family.
