Drove from Holyhead to Bristol last summer and couldn't believe the amount of speed cameras over there. I do a lot of driving and only know of three cameras in the country, none of which work ::) and one been on fire for a number of years.

It is such a shame that some people feel the need to spray paint speed cameras.....................It would be much more responsible to either................ completely pull them out of the ground .................or better still ........use dynamite. :y :y :y :y

I remember driving up the A44 from Oxford towards Worcestershire and sitting in very slow moving traffic, after 45 minutes or so discovered why the traffic was so bad. A guy in a JCB was stopping at every GATSO (and there are lots of them down there) smaking the side of every single one so they pointed away from the road. Needless to say there were lots of thumbs up's a horn toots. They stayed bent for a long time afterwards too ;D

But looking at it from the other side of things....who pays for these too be repaired or replaced,its the tax payer.

Think im right in saying if a camera doesnt snap enough people there covered or taken down (thats the case in my area) so wouldn't it be better just too deny them the revenue in the first place. :-?
