It's a bit strange me starting this thread as I don't even drive.
However I am really peed off by the underhanded way the police over here go around hiding in bushes with speed cameras, I dont have a lot of sympathy for persistent offenders but in my opinion this practice does little or nothing to promote road safety. It is purely a revenue generating machine for the government.
I have lived most of my life In England and when speed cameras were introduced the practice was much the same with them being hidden away and painted in drab colour so they couldnt be seen until you witnessed 2 ominous flashes in your rear view mirror. A public outcry resulted in them being painted in bright coloured paint and the placement of warning signs so you got the idea and slowed down if necessary.
Surely the main priorty should be deterring speeding, promoting safety and not collecting revenue and dishing out demerit points.
