[QUOTE="Tnecniv Edipar, post: 5825, member: 418"] Oooops !! My reply sounded like I'm opposed to punishment for running lights , I'm not !! It's something I would never do. However , speed cams in the UK are a scourge. They are just another way of creating revenue. If , as the government claim , they were for improving road safety , one would assume that all dangerous roads would have them. Not so , the 6 most dangerous roads in the UK don't have any Gatso cams !!! The majority of them are sited to maximise fine revenue. They have been proven to be ineffective in reducing road deaths , the reason being that speed is not the predominant factor in fatal accidents. Speeding is just the most easily detectable offence , so is more cost effective to prosecute. The real causes of road accident's are driver error through lack of concentration and negligence. The UK now has so much car legislation that driving is rapidly becoming a drudge , blighted by fear of petty prosecution for creation of fine revenue. [/QUOTE]
