Video of Fatal Accident Caused by Speed Camera
http://www.driversalliance.org.uk/press/view/281
The car-haters can say "It wouldn't have happened if they hadn't been speeding" as much as they like, but that's just a pathetic excuse, which shows yet again that the car-haters will *always* defend cameras no matter what. The speed camera caused the accident, and no amount of agenda-driven contortion can escape that fact. |

The BBC video below it was interesting when it stated that speeding causes 1/3 of serious and fatal accidents and that 20 European countries are having a crackdown on speeding drivers. It fits in with what I encounter on my travels, although I was surprised to see Dutch speed cameras painted in grey as I'm used to them standing out in bright yellow like they are here. I barely noticed a fair few Dutch cameras because of this but as I was not speeding, it did not matter. -- Simon Mason |

All I see is drivers that aren't in control of their vehicle. Sadly with the emphasis of speed limit == good, rather than driving at an appropriate speed for the conditions, that isn't going to change. |

Perhaps what you say is true. Thing is, this is not relevant to UK.rec.cycling. The highway code (applicaple to the UK) clearly states that drivers should be able to stop *within* the distance that they can see to be clear. This would include being clear of speed cameras. Perhaps in Saudi it is different but that is not in the least bit relevant here. If you fancy driving otherwise you can now look forward to a spell in jail after being convicted of causing death by careless (or dangerous) driving. If the incident presented here had occurred in the UK and had resulted in the death of any non-driver and had the driver survived I see little doubt that a conviction as described above would result. The *voters* no longer approve of any and all stupid driving. You should try to get used to the idea since we will only be getting less tolerant as time passes. |
