SPEED cameras may help cut the number of accidents on the roads, but you have to admit they're a pain in the backside. Under a pilot scheme eight police forces have used money from speeding fines to fund extra cameras instead of passing it on to the Treasury.

Now they're planning to do it nationwide, as if driving wasn't bad enough already. The cameras have had a positive effect on road safety and I can't knock that. But if more spies are going to be installed could they please be situated in fair places, like where they can be seen, not at the bottom of hill coming out of a higher speed limit and not hidden behind road signs and in bushes? Yes I was caught that way doing 42mph, and I am still bitter.

Site them in built up areas and near schools by all means but not on wide open roads.

We soon won't be able to move without a shutter pointing at us, whether its CCTV cameras or speed cameras, and I don't like it.
