Default Camera cost


And the ****wits don't have to worry about the cameras, because they're
driving a stolen car, or have fake plates or haven't bothered to
register it.


Well they have quite a few cameras for that nowadays as well, besides
round my way most of the f**kwits I get to see are driving around in
new cars or white vans.

We used to have this system where the ****wits were penalised while the
reasonable drivers could break stupid laws when doing so wasn't overly
dangerous; you see, we had people in cars driving around the roads to
stop those who behaved dangerously and punish them. Unfortunately that
was expensive, whereas setting up cameras which penalise the reasonable
drivers while doing nothing to affect ****wits brings in money, so road
safety was thrown out the window in the search for easy cash.


It's funny but where I work the company car drivers, that we all knew
had been driving like pratts for years (as the insurance claims
showed), are the same people that seem to be picking up the points from
the cameras.

People that drive around aggressively-fast one hand on their mobile and
the other on their secretary's knee are just the sort of drivers that
tend not to notice the cameras.

Safe responsible drivers, by definition, will always notice the signs
and therefore never be caught.

And now ****wits like you defend the scam that's done more to reduce
road safety and destroy respect for the police than anything I can
think of.


For that read - you don't like them because you can't speed anymore.
