If you remove speed cameras, which were ineffective anyway, you could give the nutters out there carte blanche to run riot if you do not replace it with something. I certainly don’t want that, in fact the very thought horrifies me!
If there are more traffic police you not only get the visual deterrent but they can clamp down on the truly dangerous drivers, as well as inappropriate speed for the conditions, and the plethora of other nasties which speed cameras cannot possibly get, like you said snico.
It just doesn’t make sense to hope that dangerous drivers will eventually pass through a speed camera enough times to get banned when traffic police can pick up on any abhorrent behaviour much sooner and prevent drivers from killing someone in the first place.
Unfortunately, anyone who dares to suggest getting rid of speed cameras in favour of more traf pol, as I have done here from the start, are more often than not treated like a leper when in fact I am on your side. I want safer roads and drivers, no hidden agenda.
People often use the ad hominem argument when trying to defend their stance…
Nipper – “So you want to get rid of speed cameras then?”
Tony – “Yes”
Nipper – “But speed cameras save lives”
Tony – “The evidence does not bear this out”
Nipper – Yes it does, we’re told it does. Everyone knows it does. You want people to get killed!!
Tony - "You're an idiot!"

I have sped all my life almost without exception every single day. That should according to the prophets of doom mean I have left a trail of destruction in my wake . However I am proud to say I have never hit another roaduser or pedestrian in all my antics.
why? Because the speed I drive relates to the conditions and hazzards available.
In 60 limit I may in fact be doing 10mph if neccessary and in a 40 mph limit I may indeed do 50 or in a 60 do 80 or may in fact do 30 everywhere.
I won't speed in a 30 limit period as
A. it saves you sod all time and
B. You are reducing your ability to react in time to urban hazzards.
I actually love speed cameras to pieces because you get a 'BONG' on your satnav or a lovely camera sign to warn you exactly where they are.
Consequently I have only ever had one speeding ticket in a camera zone.
In the old days before speed cameras the police could be standing anywhere behind any hedge with a speed gun at any time and so you always wondered where they were and could never take any quiet stretch for granted.
Modern policing means you never see traffic police except on motorways and because you know where the cameras are you can whiz around almost with impunity everywhere else. (Hazzard perception and driving experience excepted of course).
So I am happy to see the cameras stay to be honest and anyone caught by them after driving past the warning signs that are easliy visible only deserves a ticket.

When she's been caught EIGHT times then she'll be as stupid as you are. EIGHT times FFS - and you'll soon be back to your speeding ways when the cameras come down won't you? Well won't you? I think we all know who the 'supertwat' is around here don't we?
According to the way the silly bint drives that could be sometime next week, but then again how will she know?
As i have said before and will say again for the hard of thinking among us, i knew i was speeding, i took a chance, i got caught, i got fined, i got points,
Given all the mileage i used to do every day it is surprising i was only done on average once every 4yrs, and a few of them were early on with motorbikes when i was young and stupid, but i knew i was doing it, we havent got into where/what speed i got done as it would just look as if i am trying to justify what i done, and i am not, but dullard annoys me that she comments she didnt know,
As i have posted i havent been done since early 2007 and as far as i know they havent taken all the camersdown so justify your comment that i will speed when they do come down (or do what you usually do when you cant justify yourself, insult me,) but at least read the post ya bawbag
Hey Joe, bet you wish you hadn't asked the question now don't ya
No why? Have you NEVER done 37 in a thirty zone?
would you like to confess to driving through urban areas at a speed where you could kill one of our children, or do you not speed at all now

The limits are a joke (technology has moved on massively since the 60's) as are pc plod who try to enforce them. Tickets are also just an indirect form of taxation to help pay for the champers at the annual police ball.
The ones who really make me laugh are the pathetic "brake" charity representatives who go on the radio/tv etc with their mindless crap; they want shooting.
