ABD - Speed Cameras

The Association of British Drivers
Speed Cameras

A survey carried out by Car Parts Direct has revealed that over 268,000 drivers are now banned from driving and millions of pounds are being paid out in speeding fines. Thousands of motorists are losing their jobs, freedom and ability to earn a living. 82% of speed camera victims thought they were driving safely at the time of their conviction and were just unfortunate to be doing a few miles over the limit. 65% thought their speeding ticket was totally unjustified and felt cheated.

Photographed in May 2018, this shows one of the old GATSO speed cameras that used to be common on British roads.

Summer Puzzle
If local authorities are happy to spend Ł47,000 on a speed camera to allegedly improve road safety at a junction, how come they won't pay some bloke a few quid to cut back the hedges to improve visibility at the same junction?

If you spot overgrown hedges or grass obscuring a junction, report the problem to the local authority.
