18th speed, sorry safety, camera destroyed in past 5 years.

I did have to have a wry smile at the words "selfish act" and "This
type of action benefits no-one"

 

05:30 ? Blimey.

I had the misfortune to do the A68 last weekend. On every overtaking
section [1] on a very twisty road, they'd plonked a speed camera. The
bastards.

I have little sympathy.

Paul.

[1] This being in the diesel 4x4, which needs a written invitation to
accelerate ...

 

3 a year? A passable average.

I liked the quote from the Safety Camera Partnership mangler
"Safety cameras are located where there is a history of speeding and
collisions, where a camera is removed through the selfish act of
vandalism it can pose a threat to the safety of other road users.

"This type of action benefits no-one."
Benefits no-one?

 

Well quite - it very obviously benefits people who want to speed at
that spot.

 

That's right, only three and a bit cameras per year, how's that going to
benefit anyone ?

Looking at the map I reckon you'd need to do at least 12 per year to
make a difference.

I'm not sleeping atm, which for a snooze-lover such as myself is
really getting me down.

 

You don't say!!
