Speed cameras are a tax on the stupid.

Interesting .... guess we must all be stupid then. Is there anyone who seriously believes they have never crept over the speed limit?

I have never done this (and if I had I would have no problem in accepting the consequences and swelling the coffers a little)

You mean you've never gone 1 or 2 miles per hour over the speed limit - on any road????

I'd argue there's no-one who can say that, but I guess I will just bow down to your superiority over most of the rest of us.

You'd have to swell the coffers more than a little if they caught YOU driving!!

Probably not, but speed cameras won't do you for 31 in a 30 zone. It isn't designed for people who creep over the limit, as you put it.

:rotfl:

I look at driving as essential. But then I don't live in London.

From my last house to my last job was 45 miles. That took 45 minutes by car. Or 2.5 hours and £12 by public transport.

Not driving is simply not an option for most people outside London IMO.

No, but scammera vans sitting on bridges at 5.45am on a fine summers morning on the M4 will do you for 83mph.

Now tell me, who was at danger? Me? The one person in my rear view mirror quite a way back, or the two lorries about a minute away from me at that speed?

Husband of a friend says he was done for this? Doesn't it depend on the authority?

How far over do you think it takes then?
