Question:
I have been driving for over 25 years, with no penalties and full no claims bonus and now these lumps of crap have forced me to buy a satnav, which constantly upsets my driving rhythm by pinging when we approach one of the wretched things. I then turn my attention away from driving to search for the thing and look down at the indicator to see how far away I am from it and then I look for indicators of speed limits. With all this going on, I am sure I am a short time away from a safety camera induced accident. They are dangerous and I would like to see civil unrest to smash them to pieces or put graffiti artists to work to cover them up. What do you think ?

THOSE ARE HUGE ASSUMPTIONS!!!
What website could I visit to listen to actual 911 emergency calls?
Basically these cameras are owned by private companies and those companies have a vested interest in you getting a ticket. When I see a 6 lane road with no curves and a turning lane in the middle and bicycle lanes on both sides, you can't tell me that 35 mph is appropriate.
sooo wrong,,.say you drive same road 5 days a week..in 1 week you could get 5 tickets and never know till they suspend your lic...its nuts

Am I missing something? If you drove within the speed limits (which are there for a reason) then speed cameras wouldn't be an issue would they.At what age and weight can kids sit in the front seat of a car?
if you're really concerned, then get rid of the satnav and drive the speed limit. Problem solved!At what age do most people begin to drive?
Well.. they haven't FORCED you to buy sat nav. You could just travel at the speed limit? No offence meant or anything.. they are there for a reason.The camera didn't cause the accident-- your driving method caused it.
Any Suggestions for Good All-Season Tires?
Learn the speed limits for your route and obey them.
Do you ever drive through redlights when there is no traffic around ?
While the cameras do seem to be an invasion of privacy and not a good way to enforce the law, I find it particularly ridiculous for you to say they would cause you to have an accident.
Is it legal to have a radar detector in Illinois?
I agree...they're wrong wrong wrong!Does a firetruck have the right of way in every situation?
I think if you shut off the distracting pings, you won't get in any accidents. If that means having to drive within the speed limit... OH WELL!I agree,
I recently passed my test and I will find out during next week wether I have been caught out.
I'm hardly a road rager,
I was doing 32/33 in a 30 zone.
I've just got a new car and had only had it a couple of days before this.

Transportataion is the big cause of pollution why people need them?for their death?
Of course we need them,and if the law breakers fines help keep my rates down,then lets have moreThere is a simple solution - drive within the speed limit. I have done, particularly since I was last caught and offered a speed awareness course instead of the points. Not to mention saving a fortune in fuel!
Anyone else leave the seatbelt in their car plugged in all time and just use the shoulder belt?
My main concern with your question is more to do with you not being aware of a speed limit - that should be second nature, particularly if you've been driving for 25 years!
Having said that, there should be more red light and box junction cameras to remind people how to use them and stop people blocking up junctions and causing accidents.
I say they are the right thing to do. They can make areas safer to drive in and at the same time bring in more revenue for the city. Don't wanna ticket? Then don't speed.
Both right and wrong. I think you should learn to fly maybe a helicopter you could land that sucker on the roof like care flight. No need to worry about speed cameras unless flying over Iraq you might worry about an occasional RPG. Or get a set of those revolving license plates like James Bond. If you do have a speed camera induced accident please have S.C.I.A. camera in your car to catch the footage and have your next of kin post it on YouTube.

Have you heard about JMP Driving School?
Don't worry the next generation speed cameras will work an average for a section of road, then you will have to stay within the limit as there is no excuse for being above the limit of several miles, as the speeders do now only slowing down for the camera. I hope that your satnav is capable of differentiating between roads and tracks or you could find yourself up a farm track and unable to turn round. I presume that the 10% allowance is still in force when working out speeds as there are still cars around that were built in the 50's and 60's.More Questions & Answers ...
