I am pointing out that red light cameras do NOT make the roads of our great nation any safer. All they appear to be doing is issuing tickets and raking in funds for their owners. Those two points underline how the city governments that employ red light cameras would rather have money than safe citizens. What part of that makes you think that I endorse running red lights or breaking the law?
Did you even read the entire thread? If you had, you would have read above where I said:
So if you feel the need to interject your sermons on how to be a law abiding citizen, at least read the posts first.
Tom, I don't usually get involved in other people's debates but I am very passionate about the 'usefulness' of traffic cameras, and completely agree with you.
I would like to refer Ghost and larry back to my earlier post, number 17:
'The most profitable £50k camera in the country is down near me at the end of the M11 motorway. It makes over a million pounds a year profit so it's obviously doing a good job then? Except casualties at that particular blackspot have doubled since they installed the camera!
Bet they don't take it away though!'
Regards, Andy.
