Especially knee-jerk media.
BBC Breakfast is having a ball over Swindon Council deciding to reassign funds away from speed cameras.
A speed camera can't detect and address bad and/or dangerous driving, such as a truck 3' from your back bumper.
Spend the money on sensible policing of the law and safety; not a device that makes money from those few unaware of what covers a 100m stretch.
I am unsure wheeling out an array of distraught Mums of victims is serving the issue well.
Gaurdian - Should speed cameras go?
We have a dual carriageway near here that has two 120mph stretches with a 50mph bit in the middle. Meanwhile my kids walk home in a 30mph zone where 60mph is more the norm. It's a solution only a box-ticker could love.
And if they are not to generate revenue, why do they not have the correct speed on them?

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
