Speed limit to be reduced

[iCraig]

Scrap cameras, spend the money on hiring plain car bobbies to sit alongside accident hotspots, pulling over drivers who aren't driving to the conditions, swerving all over the place due to:

putting on make-up
stuffing their face
using a mobile
turning around to shout at their kids etc

All those things cause accidents. Accidents that aren't prevented due to any sort of camera, ever. Those sort of drivers risk lives, but rarely get caught, because the cameras see that they're doing under the limit and therefore must be safe. Meanwhile, a driver who isn't eating a 2ft baguette and steering with their knees, or giving 75% of their attention to applying lipstick, or in the middle of a map war with their wife, are safely plodding along, alert, undistracted at 34mph, and get snapped at fine.

It's backwards and it needs a re-think. Unfortunately, because it makes money, changing it for something else that won't turn a profit, isn't probably on the agenda.
