Default Paul from SafeSpeed on BBC Breakfast today on Driving Offence Cameras

surely as all the boy racers who have been complaining that speed

on camera ?

Now come the new excuses --------------


I doubt it.

The vast majority of people agree that speed limits are necessary , just
that the ones chosen are often unrelated to safety issues and that
enforcement is often targeted to raise most revenue rather than prevent
accidents.

For things like red light cameras , box junction cameras and so on there is
no such debate over where to draw a line and enforcing them shouldn't be an
issue.
