Speed Cameras and July 12th bonfires
Rad
is a traffic camera nearby pile a few spare tyres around it and torch
the bugger.
Exercises on the mainland and in Holland have proved they burn well.
It will be too expensive to replace them all. The are a fucked up
Fascist revenue collecting idea which prevents nothing and cause
unexpected braking manouvers.
All it takes to *really* prevent accidents at blackspots are rumble
strips and/or low bumps.
By introducing the expensive cameras rather than those real cheaper
*effective* measures the NI administration are following a Luddite
anti-transport minority led initiative on the mainland and condeming
more people to misery.
Have you seen the recent TV ad? in effect:
Break a meaningless speed limit while driving perfectly safely and you
might lose your job and have your life destroyed.
What a bunch of utter cunts. Who is the lower form of life, those who
thought it up or the gutless TV channels who carry it.

over sensitive to cover cost of replacements and new cameras.
Although given the automation of these cameras I wonder what would happen if
you changed your number plate to someone you didn't like and went on a burn
round town :)

There is a very simple way to avoid paying fines.
BTW, there is a direct statistical link between speed and road death.

Yea, I've always wondered about that. It is *not* speed that actually kills, by that I mean high speeds. Speed only makes the accident worse and therefor more likely to cause death and major injury. The real cause is bloody carelessness, bad driving, drunk driving and selfish behaviour.
So, perhaps you, Brendan, can explain to me how it is that the statistic refers to speed only? - Surely, the statistic should be about carelessness, driving without due care and attention etc?
Interestingly, I have just driven from Northern Ireland through Scotland and across England to Italy and back, plus many miles touring, and never came across any radar traps apart from a few fixed cameras. Unless of course my expensive radar detector isn't working, which I doubt. I just wonder how interested the various police forces actually are in curbing road deaths!

If you mean that higher speed accidents have a greater death rate then
it seems likely but 70 or 90mph the result is likely to be the same.
The majority of all the RTA's happen at <40mph however. I was arguing
for something that actually slows someone down and notifies them
approaching a genuine blackspot. I would also argue that if you cannot
attain the basic level of taught driving skill as used by the mainland
Police then you should never hold a licence. I wouldn't mind if you
then had to make Class1 within (say) 2 years.
