I hate the cameras. They're yet another Nanny state icon. They allow Mr and Mrs Self ****in Righteous to drive as badly as they've always driven on open, safe and de-restricted roads. Naturally, they rarely exceed 46mph, that being the speed that the Honda Civic; Vauxhall Astra etc can just about maintain in fifth gear without stalling. Curiously, they maintain the same 46mph in towns (where 30 is the posted limit). And still in 5th gear.
