I don't know what was in the Sun but I imagine it was the same speech that was in this months advanced motorists magazine.

I don't think he said less road cameras

I think he wants more sensible use of them. One suggestion was to send out "reason" why letters with the NIP's.

I haven't got the mag to hand but maybe someone else has they could post it.

BTW I didn't know some of the new speed restrictions we are seeing on some roads were not due to the dangerousness of the road, but implemented to reduce noise

Surely its the road surfaces that need sorting if thats the reason!

it makes you wonder how legitimate speeding fines are in these new restricted roads. Not at all IMO

At the risk of turning it political (like it's not political!), could this be something to do with the length of UK Parliamentary terms in office?

:sceptical:
