The Speed Trap - BBC1 Scotland
Paul Smith has just been on the Scottish news talking about speed
cameras - it is possible that he will be on the above programme. Having seen him live on TV I was less than impressed by his performance and attitude. -- A T (Sandy) Morton on the Bicycle Island In the Global Village http://www.millport.net |

Unfortunately I have to pop out to collect son (by tandem of course) so will miss the first half. ...d |

If you were to set up the ResponsibleAvoid website telling people how it's not only perfectly responsible to avoid paying tax but that it makes you a better person, I bet you'd get even more support. The public loves to be told lies which support their prejudices. Guy -- http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk "To every complex problem there is a solution which is simple, neat and wrong" - HL Mencken |

One interesting point the program brought out was that in recent years depite more cameras being installed and the number of tickets being issued increasing vastly, the number of drivers getting banned through totting up has remained constant at about 14,000 per year. . The program suggested this might be because most drivers with points moderate their behavior to avoid getting more points and the cameras may be having the desired affect.. I did find myself shouting at the tv that it doesn't matter how many cameras there are if you don't speed. |
