I don't know any road user that likes speed cameras! And why should they? All they are is easy money for the government! Let's be honest, we're speeding, we see the camera, so we slow down, we go past the camera, so we speed back up! There is still no proof that they actually work. Whilst in certain areas accidents have decreased, other areas have seen an increase in accidents. When you approach one, you have to make damn sure your not speeding, which means slowing down to about 25 mph (in case your speedo is wrong), and keeping 1 eye on the speedo!

Personally I hate them, and I'll buy anyone a beer who vandelises them!
