Speed Cameras and Speed Limits

Don't we all just learn where they are and slow down for them then speed up again after?

I think that speed cameras and speed limits are essential. However, I think they are often in the wrong places. There's a steep hill where I live and the number of people who get caught for doing 35 in a 30 zone just because it's on a very steep hill and breaking doesnt actually really help much is rather unfair. Also, the speed limit on the road before the school is 20. School road is a 30 zone, though. Another incorrect speed in my opinion. There's a park entrace with a 30mph sign right outside the gate, yet before the gate it's 20mph. It changes about 10 metres before the gate. Where's the sense in that? And what about when ...  Read the complete review

Speed cameras are a necessary evil but I don't believe they are effective in catching bad drivers. I have 6 points on my licence and about to get another 3 but that's not the reason I'm against them. I'm against them because they are not flexible enough. They do not adapt to the ever changing road conditions. Driving at 50mph in a 40mph limit in good weather with clear visibility is not as dangerous in my opinion as driving at 40mph in a 40mph limit in a snow blizzard yet a speed camera would penalise a driver doing 50 in good weather and not do a thing about a nutter driving at speed in the snow. Excessive speed on it's own is not a ...  Read the complete review

I do not think speed cameras work but i do like speed limits! I am a 21 year old male and been driving for four year. I havent been caught speeding as generally i dont speed but if i was and i saw a camera i would slow down go through it at the correct speed then pick my speed up again. What does that do? It does nothing to bring the speed of drivers down for more than about 10 seconds. I like speed limits as i hate people who drive really fast and as they are the sort of people that cause accidents an usually the ones that keep their lives in the crash, so speed limits are good ideas but surely there is a better way than just one speed camera to slow you down for a few ...  Read the complete review

I've never had a problem with speed limits and speed cameras generally. In fact I don't think I've ever been caught speeding. But I heard on the news that they are going to be introducing a new speed limit of 50 mph on rural roads! I frequently drive across open moorland roads with long straight sections and not a sole on the road. If I'm suppose to start trundling along at 50 miles a hour then Im sorry I just wont. I'd go to prison over it. Its ridiculous. The ones who crash on these empty rural roads are reckless inexperienced young drivers with cars full of passengers. These kids are doing way over 70 and go round the corners on two wheels, at least the ones that ...  Read the complete review
