What is the point of speed camera detectors?
Given that the REAL purpose of speed cameras is to generate income, not to improve road safety — sod the buggers! If anything, speed cameras probably REDUCE road safety. I’ve noticed that speeds — especially on secondary two-lane roads –have dropped well below the legal 60 MPH as people are afraid of being done for speeding by the flaming speed cams. This increases the likelihood of someone trying to overtake just to maintain legal speeds and any time you overtake you’re taking a calculated risk. It’s bloody frustrating to get stuck behind some plonk rolling along at 50 MPH who is more concerned with avoiding speed cameras than actually driving safely.
