I would be like you. But as luck would have it, I touch 36 in a 30 zone and get caught by a temporary camera!

Large areas of grass either side of the road that separate the road from the path. No parked cars at the side, basically there is no chance of a child running out from behind anything suddenly.

I don't even remember seeing it.

I wouldn't mind, but they justify it by claiming Dumfries and Galloway has a high number of deaths from high speed crashes. It does, but not ever on the only section of deserted motorway in the fucking county. Try speed trapping on winding A-roads where it might actually help.

Even I'm not retarded enough to get caught by a camera ;) It was a mobile van.
The reason that we have it bad up here is that Scottish law permits speeding fines as a revenue generation exercise, and they don't have to demonstrate a safety reason for putting a camera in place like England does. Hence all the cameras on the only fucking bits of the A1 you can overtake on, and the fact that they are allowed to hide mobile vans behind trees on motorway bridges.

Pity it cost me a court visit and a several hundred pound fine, though.
