Another strange fact is motorways have the highest speed limits and are statisically the safest...
So how can anyone justify the cameras on the motorways and indeed dual carriage ways with derestricted speed limits. Money raising pure and simple!
We have a nice long straight residential road here in the village (and others too which have in appropriately low speed limits), and recently talking with a local traffic sargent I muttered about their missing presence in the village - his reply was "We can't justify it on cost basis..." when asked what he meant he explained that the cost of an officer with a speed gun would not balance the books with the number of people prosecuted... apparently a decision out of the police's hands.
