ENOUGH is enough. In 2003, one million speeding fines were paid totalling £73 million - the official target for 2004 is to issue three million fines.
This is scandalous and it's time for the drivers of Lancaster to fight back.
Road accidents happen mostly as a result of bad driving, not speeding. The police focus on speed cameras not because it is the most important causal factor in accidents but because it's easy to measure and brings in the dosh.
What they should do is spend more time tackling bad driving and less alienating otherwise law-abiding citizens.
So look at the internet site at www.starvethecameras.org.uk and join us in February in a concerted effort to starve the speed cameras of income.
Everyone should approve of this initiative - the police, because 'rogue drivers' will stop breaking the law, road safety people because speed will reduce and you because you won't have to stump up the fine.
Drive carefully in February and starve the cameras of income. I'm sure many 'experts' will be interested to measure the impact of this potentially unique change in behaviour..
