I can tell you the answer to that and it's simple:

Everyone knows the Highway Code and all other motoring laws do not apply at or near schools or anywhere in the vacinity at school run times;);), ask any school run mum or dad.
If you are late to pick up junior just drive faster and park on the crossing zigzags outside school, you'll only be there for a minute, last in 1st out and all that, :eek::eek::eek:

Yes this does bug me:mad:

You and me both.

In that case, I'd actually like the police to actively go after the idiots - fit a video camera alongside the speed cameras, and randomly go through them and start to prosecute for careless/dangerous driving for people that slam on the brakes.

If people can't drive safely and lets face it a speed camera is not a danger, or something that should worry the drivers compared to other much more serious and common potential dangers on/by the road, they shouldn't be driving.

If people consider the speed cameras a risk, god knows what they'll think of dogs/children/cyclists/wildlife which are much more of a danger.

Of all the arguments against speed cameras the "but it causes people to act dangerously to slow down" one is about the weakest, as anyone driving to a minimum standard (as per passing the driving test) shouldn't be having those problems.

I agree totally, but it's far easier to prove that the speed limits been broken than the drivings not perfect, so guess where the effort goes;););)

Just use the media to convince the sheep amongst us that speeding is the ONLY driving offense that kills and your onto a good earner.
