The thing...
...about speeding is, thousands of people are 'caught' every day.

If thousands of people are willing to risk criminal prosecution every day, then the law must be wrong and proper, more fitting speed limits should be put in place.

Thousands of people cannot be wrong, and the government right?

I didn't know about it being tested already, although I have no idea why it has anything to do with ECHR act. It's purely a breach of section 4 (6?) of the criminal prosecution act that. It says that you have the right to not incriminate yourself. If this is to be ignored for 'minor' criminal offences then it means as a motorist you have less rights than a baby fucker or terrorist - and that cannot be right in anyone's mind.

Also, about the parking tickets; yeah, I can see how a fine would be a deterrent, but traffic wardens (or whatever they call them now) are there to ensure the flow of traffic - nicking people down a side road where there is little chance of them holding up traffic flow is just a money spinner. There are also lots of box junctions in the wrong place.

I can across one in Reading the other week, where you couldn't actually see what was around the corner of the box, so you just had to risk driving into the box in the hope that you could exit it. Right around the corner from it - justout of sight - was a pedestrian controlled crossing. This box, of course, had a camera pointed at it. Short of being able to see through buildings there was no way to know if you could enter the box and continue to move until you came out of it.

Wrong, so very wrong.
