The public/media's obsession with the siting of speed cameras is an excellent example of why this proposal is indeed a non-starter.








(PS. If you don't speed why would speed cameras be an issue (beyond, perhaps, civil liberties concerns). The argument always thrown up is that cameras are not about safety but revenue. OK, stop speeding and cut off the revenue stream.)
