MOST of the coverage about speeding tickets and cameras implies that drivers have a right to speed and that it is rotten luck to get caught and fined. This seems an irresponsible approach to take when speeding takes lives.
Lancashire police are one of the leading forces tackling speeding. Their camera enforcement programme will contribute to reducing speed-related injuries and deaths significantly.
They are not handing out speeding offences for the sake of it; they are using an automated system which reduces administration costs associated with the production and mailing of speeding tickets to offenders.
Consequently, the programme does not tie up valuable police officers' time and is an efficient way to educate drivers with informative literature regarding road safety.
Lancashire police are taking encouraging steps to reduce a problem that directly affects us, the general public. It is a shame that coverage in many national papers does not reflect and support these positive initiatives.
