Sorry Mike, but if you drive within the speed limit, which is always
displayed, then plod with zap guns and speed cameras hold no fear. I see
where you are coming from with rapid braking, but 'Stick to the speed
limit' and ANY braking is not required.


I think you miss the point. Have you never been happily driving in what you
believe to be a 40 limit only to spot a speed camera and look franticly
around for a sign confirming your belief you are indeed in a 40, and not be
able to see one. I have many times (I drive over 30,000 miles a year) and
have often slowed to 30 just to be safe. Sadly some drivers brake hard in
this instance causing accidents.

I neither condone nor practice knowingly breaking speed limits, but do
believe the roads would be marginally safer if every camera had the
prevailing limit posted on or near to it.

It's not the cameras that are missing something, it's the speed signs,
where on earth did they all go?
