Given they give auto-warning of speed cameras, being caught by fixed-location speed cameras now has to be viewed as a competence tax. <br /><br />What wiltshire does have is ave speed cameras on the roadworks, and there is no way to avoid them. It's also hard to say "forces people to brake hard for a camera"; or "prevents overtaking", all it does is penalise people whose ave speed is too high. <br /><br />It'll be interesting to see whether the coalition supports/prevents rollout of these kinds of systems.SteveLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654931341335136008noreply@blogger.com
