point taken.but the fact is, there are speed limits for a reason.
the speading doesn't bother me so much, it's the people that moan when they get cought hat do.

I agree on moaning entirely AFTER being caughtyou have broken a law after all.
but speed cameras in inappropriate areas is akin to putting breathalysers in pubs (since it is against the law to be intoxicated in a public house, and who dosen't do that?) and then fining you for it. It's a revenue generator and nothing else. Also, becuase there are so few police on the roads now they don't nick people for other offences (tailgating, undertaking, I could go on) that roads are becoming more dangerous. The number of road deaths fell every year (well for about the last 10 anyway) until cameras were widely introduced, and then it started rising .... and stats, of course, never lie ;)
