Shipshape Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Traffic patrols have steadily declined alongside speed camera proliferation. I have been a motorist for many years. I have never felt so persecuted as I do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I think you have an obsession with the law and not with speeding...very odd. C'mon AJ..you can do better than that. You don't change law by breaking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipshape Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 C'mon AJ..you can do better than that. You don't change law by breaking it. Hmmm.....lots of people broke the law when the poll tax was introduced. Do you really think that it did not help get the law changed? I think that it was entirely responsible for the change to council tax and the leadership change!:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogs Of War Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Traffic patrols have steadily declined alongside speed camera proliferation. I have been a motorist for many years. I have never felt so persecuted as I do now. I agree i would much rather be pulled over by the police, got a good telling off and common sense applied if i was doing 5mph over the limit ,but driving safely and sensibily rather than this draconian system we have now where everyone who slightly straYs over whatever speed the camera is set at gets hammered in the pocket. As someone pointed out in this thread , the speed cameras in Swindon were switched off last years ,and there has been NO increase in fatal accidents since.

AJ sheffield Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 C'mon AJ..you can do better than that. You don't change law by breaking it. I totally agree but that level of obsession with the law must have a medical term, it is epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the cameras were installed at places that were experiencing a spike of accident activity that later fell back to their average, thats how the government also use figures to say their has been a reduction.

Shipshape Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I contend that if any new law is introduced that the vast majority of people find repulsive they can get it changed by breaking it en masse. We can only be policed as a nation because the vast majority of people wish to be policed. If the vast majority of people decided not to be policed, they could not be.
