'Dangerous' speed camera rakes in �500,000 a year

By David Williams
Published: 8:30PM GMT 14 Nov 2009

Crashes have risen by almost a quarter and casualties have almost doubled
since the camera was installed on a busy stretch of the M11 in Essex, in
2000.

Now, details revealed under Freedom of Information legislation, show that
the device results in up to 9,000 speeding tickets a year, enough to raise
around �500,000.

Campaigners have accused the authorities of refusing to remove the camera,
despite it being linked to accidents, because of the revenue it brings
them.

Police have blamed motorists who slow down ahead of the camera and then
speed up once they are clear of it.

"Cameras do not cause collisions, poor driving does," said the spokesman.

As i've said countless times, fines don't stop speeders. The brits need a
law that says a speeder who causes a fatal crash will do a minimum of 20
years!!! Stop coddling these killers.

"Speeders & Drunk Drivers" is a law-and-order nazi who would fit in
quite well in the surveillance nanny police state of Britain.

There is neither law nor order i that cranks posting.

Since she is thoroughly filtered, the only way her crap can be inflicted
on innocent victims is when some twit quotes it.

I'm not big on law and order. In fact i'd like to remove the cameras from
schools and businesses. But having them on highways is ok since that's
where the killers are. THINK, you hatefilled miserable wretch.

I read that when the signal light turns yellow, many people slam on their
brakes rather than go through the light and risk getting a ticket.
In many cases, this causes the car behind them to slam into the back of the
first car.
