Couldn't agree more! ^
Speed cameras may well be "revenue raisers" but if you didn't speed you wouldn't get caught & there'd be no revenue! I still don't understand how someone can get caught speeding through a fixed speed camera when there are at least 2 signs telling you the bloody thing is there! I mean, how stupid can a person be??
