If they jump red lights and it's a set of lights where this would be extremely dangerous then good then they deserve it.
Red light camera's smartly positioned shouldn't need to be sign posted nor clearly seen. |

It'll cut road deaths overall because eventually no bugger will be using them.
Road deaths per 1000miles will however stay the same. |

Aye, if labour were in charge over there, Speeding would have been blamed and thus there would be a speed camera every kilometer and then the government would use dodgy statistics to prove them effective :/ |

I can't wait to come across these do gooders. I'm going to do 1mph over the limit going back and fourth many many times giving the single finger salute.
What will they be able to do about it? Absolutely nothing. |

Speaking of out to lunch.
Went for a drive last night passed a school and what did i see? A mobile speed camera sitting there. At 8pm on a sunday night. I drive that route every work day and do i ever see one there at school kicking out/start times? No.
But remember kids, it's there for safety. |

| It's nigh on a daily occurrence and you get used to just waiting for it to happen on any road. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy when you look at a car and say to yourself "You're going to so just do it" and they do. Damn, no icon for feeling as contented as a baby in a dirty nappy. So tr... |

| Amazing how they can find staff to "monitor" a TV show but can't send anyone round if you detect a burglary or assault in progress. Simple. Just tell them you found a burgular in your house, but no rush to come round as you have just shot him. They will be there in about 2 minutes :twiste... |
