Re: [MERGED] - Speeding/Gatso cameras
£60, 3 points, driver training... I've never seen any NIP that trains a driver, have you?
Psychic policemen - the point here is that the police don't know WHY you are speeding, there could be many reasons. So to say they stop you for any one reason is basically a lie, whatever your police friend told you.
My figures on GATSOs were purely speculative. But whilst they may repay the capital cost, there is maintenance and upkeep. Do the nice policement who visit then and relaod them not get paid? What about when they get vandalised? Do they not require calibration or checking, just like every other measurement tool on the planet? Do they not suffer wear and tear?
I may be wrong here, but is the purpose of GATSOs not purported to be MAINLY as a tool to reduce accidents/injuries/deaths? And are they not more widely used to generate revenue?
