Paul from SafeSpeed on BBC Breakfast today on Driving Offence Cameras
Dr Zoidberg wrote: David from Oz wrote: There was an item on driving offence cameras (e.g. box junction offences, red light offences, right turn offences, bus lane offences etc), as following successful trials in London they are now being rolled out nationally. Paul from Safe Speed (a regular poster on this group) was interviewed and argued against such measures stating his view that that they did not *prevent * such offences, merely *punished* but did not reduce the number of offices. Hmmm , so an increased chance of being caught doesn't act as a deterrent at all........ I'd be interested to know what he would propose that could prevent someone blocking a box junction. How about one of those electromagnet based wrecking cranes to lift the offender out of the way so that traffic can move freely again? And maybe leave them in the air for an hour or two as a warning to others. I think the claw type grab might be a bit too brutal. If you think we have a problem there are countries where traffic light discipline is so bad that without policemen on every junction at rush hour it all grinds to a complete standstill - think herringbone pattern of cars in every junction all moving and hooting at random.
