Speed Cameras and Speed Limits Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I really hate speed cameras! They are popping up all over my area, and have increased substantially over the past couple of years. I honestly think that they cause more traffic. On our highways, we have signs that say "photo enforcement zone 1/2 mile". As soon as everyone sees these signs, they begin to do the speed limit. ...  Read the complete review

Speed Cameras. Two words that spark an emotional response in any driver on the road. Should we have more, should we have less? Unfortunately, no matter what we do to our roads there will still be accidents. There are just too many variables to consider, too many types of vehicles on the road, too much unpredictability from pedestrians ...  Read the complete review

"I feel the need....The need for speed". The iconic phrase said by Maverick (Played by Tom Cruise) to Goose, his co-pilot in the 1980s legendary film, Top Gun. However, is this bravado required in everyday life? Speed is the largest contributor to road incidents, injuries and deaths. Fact. Increased speed requires increased ...  Read the complete review

Let me start by saying I don't have a problem with speed cameras. I think in certain circumstances they serve a purpose but I do think that purpose may have been overtaken by financial income. Where I live there are hoardes of them. My father can't get over it when he comes to visit and he lives just outside London but doesn't have that many in ...  Read the complete review

Ok, im going to be controversial here and state that i dont have a problem with speed cameras, infact i think there should be more of them. Ask yourself, what is a speed camera doing? It is checking if you are breaking the law. The arguement against speed cameras is the same as saying i think there should be less police officers on the ...  Read the complete review

Are speed cameras really there to reduce speed therefore reducing the number of accidents? NO. Speed camera's are there to make them some more dosh. There are so many more people being caught "speeding" by a few miles an hour over the speed limit than muggers are caught. Did you know that? Well, the ...  Read the complete review

I'm gonna add my opinions to this debate I think that all speed cameras should be taken out of service. Why? Because I don't think they have anything to do with road safety at all as all drivers will check their speedometer regardless of whether they're over the speed limit to make sure they're not exceeding it - taking their eyes off ...  Read the complete review

In my opinion, speed cameras should be the last resort; we the public pay enough money to the government. Tests have shown that many speed cameras are not calibrated and the speeds at which they are taking photographic images of drivers who seem to be breaking the law are inappropriately taken. On a Watchdog type programme, one such ...  Read the complete review

ONE in three drivers is caught each year by a parking warden or speed camera. In comparison only 3 in one 100 muggers are convicted by using CCTV images. One is clearly more important than the other when surveillance is used to crack crime. It's all about revenue over crime prevention these days. League tables not justice. This is the sad state ...  Read the complete review

Right I've being doing some research into speed cameras. More specifically into how they work. Apparently its simple, they photograph u twice if u get to the second photo point too fast then it can work out you're speeding. I'm sure most of you knew that already though. What you'll probably be more interested in is how to beat them. Here I've ...  Read the complete review

Like it or not, most accidents are caused by people driving without due care and attention. When I am driving about there are people who's driving is so erratic you wonder how they manage to get away without causing an accident. Some people dont stop at junctions and cause the person who has already come out to have to slow down, or in some cases ...  Read the complete review

Only 4% of deaths on British roads are caused by speeding. Yet you will find speed cameras in every village, town and city. In 2003, 140 million was raised from speed fines generated by speed cameras. Eight years ago 4500 cameras were on the road and 1 million speed convictions. Three years ago 6000 cameras were on the ...  Read the complete review

Speed cameras are there to make money. I can't remember the location of the camera. I read on the BBC site. One camera generated 1.5 million by handing out 30 thousand tickets in three years. I read on another site that cameras save 1500 lives a year. Same site had information from one of the MP reports which suggested that cameras are ...  Read the complete review

i think my opinion of speed cameral is the same as thousands of others, that they are a pain in the arse and cause people to drive even slower than the actual speed limit through fear of being caught. for my the fine wouldnt bother me so much as the points on my licence i am classed as a young driver, being under 21. and so my insurance ...  Read the complete review

How could speed cameras be unfair should be the question. The area around my school always has people speeding around, especially at lunchtimes etc. when there are more people around to see the drivers speeding - which is why they do it, they want attention. I think we need more speed cameras, especially in busier areas, only without signs to ...  Read the complete review
