Speed Camera’s
I have just been reading in MCN about speed camera partnerships ‘bending’ the rules when it comes to positioning speed cameras. Apparently a great deal of these safety devices have been put in places that are more likely to produce revenue than reduce accidents!
It’s a damned good job I read that - otherwise I would have had no idea that this is the case!!!!!!
Seriously though, has anyone ever seen a speed camera on any housing estate!!! I would have thought that this would have been a fantastic place to site them if safety was the main priority.
A funny little story
On the housing estate where I used to live, my next door neighbor (who was an olympic whiner I might add) was constantly complaining to the local council about people speeding past his house (we used to live on the main road though the estate).
Eventually the council contacted the local police and they set up a mobile speed camera for a day to monitor the situation. I bet you can guess what happened…….
Yup, my next door neighbor was the only motorist caught speeding that day
