Re: Speed Cameras - switch off date vs prosecution chase end date ?
I reckon YC is right. Lets just teach the kids not to get killed and drivers to look out for the dangerous little *******s. Then scrap speed cameras and bring back proper traffic coppers. So at least if you get done you deserve it cos they sit in huge dayglo beemers and if you can't see them you deserve a fine.

As an example, say you're in a 30 zone and you're approaching a school. Let's imagine that you were already sticking to the speed limit, as unlikely as that may be. You've also noticed that there are signs warning of speed cameras ahead. Do you:
I thought the number one rule of motorcycle safety was to ride as though everyone around you is a d***.

Re: Speed Cameras - switch off date vs prosecution chase end date ?
So are you agreeing with me or arenalife?
Either way, the one driving like a tit is going to run over a child, and the one driving sensibly is going to stop in time. (neither being caught by a speed camera). Or you could say, if the cars are going past at 45, then the kids will watch the road, as a car whooshing past at a rate of knots looks scarier than one at tickover.

I would be inclined to educate the children before posting a 20 limit. I would also like to enforce double yellows for about 50 yards either side of the school gates -- on both sides of the road. The problem with educating children is that they get distracted so easily -- seeing their friends, a ball, a parent -- and everything they ever learned about everything disappears! Unfortunately, the same is true of many motorists. Once they pass their test, it's the start of a downhill slide in driving standards. These people need to be slowed right down before they have a chance of stopping in an emergency, and there's no way of slowing them down without doing it to everybody.
