At last, a council has seen sense on speed cameras, calling them a “blatant tax on the motorist” – which they are 
Fatalities were falling year on year until the introduction of speed cameras, and they’ve fell markedly less after that. Speed cameras only catch people who are exceeding (usually financially-motivated) speed limits; they don’t catch drink drivers, drug drivers, people on their bloody mobile phones, uninsured drivers, untaxed drivers, drivers who are being idiots, etc…
Let’s hope this a start of something…
