Make Up Your Mind
Back again after a busy but interesting few days in London. This is what grabbed my attention while reading the paper on the train travelling back to Donny. I have always believed that the main function of speed cameras’ is to raise revenue. It is simply a way of taking money from the public. I suspect most people also believe that to be the case.
Yet here we are with a story in the Sunday Times that declared speed cameras are to be ‘axed’ to ‘er’ save money!
It must be one or the other, they can’t both be right - can they?
You’re right Mike you can’t have it both ways but I thought they were to punish speed merchants and improve road safety. If you are unable to police byelaws why have them. Will they be taking down speed restriction signs to further save money and the need to police the restrictions? Perhaps not but I wonder how they intend policing it now with the proposed reduction in the police force. Maybe we are to have a private highway patrol.
