- gambiting 8y agoI disagree completely. The primary purpose should be stopping people from speeding on the road where the camera is installed - and that purpose is achieved when the camera is visible.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI'd dispute that driving at 38 in a 30 automatically makes someone a "shitty driver" - I've seen some absolutely disgusting driving that never would have been picked up by a camera. Tailgating, drivers using handheld phones, and dangerous overtaking are a few examples that spring to mind. Of course getting these drivers off the road would be a case of funding police properly (so they can be around to witness these things happening) instead of the easy option of sticking speed cameras everywhere.

In our universe I think claiming that doing 38 in a 30 with no consideration of context makes someone a shitty driver is pretty laughable and in the same category as "weed is bad because it's illegal." >Of course getting these drivers off the road would be a case of funding police properly (so they can be around to witness these things happening) instead of the easy option of sticking speed cameras everywhere. One of these costs money and is set up and administrated by the local government. One of this will be set up for the local government by a private company in exchange for a cut of the profits. Which do you think the government will do?
