Oh Dear: Cameras set to catch side-street speeders

"NETWORKS of speed cameras, which will catch every driver breaking the limit, are to be installed in 20mph residential areas as an alternative to road humps.



All entry and exit points to neighbourhoods will be covered by the cameras, which will calculate automatically the average speed of the vehicle while travelling through the area. Offenders’ vehicle number will be transmitted instantly to an office that issues penalties.

The system will catch the motorists known as “camera surfers”, who slow down only briefly as they pass conventional speed cameras before speeding up again.

Local authorities will target 20mph zones where there have been several crashes caused by drivers breaking the limit or accelerating aggressively between humps and chicanes.

Well I am all in favour of these things, and I might add that it is entirely scurrilous to suggest just because I get a little money each time one is installed it might affect my opinion.

More cash in the coffers more like. They're obviously running out of ideas for stealth taxing and this is a new method of wielding more cash from our already over subscribed pockets. Nice one Tone !

I managed to do 60mph between 2 speed bumps, but then had to do 1mph to traverse them - average speed, ~25mph.

At least I won't end up pissed off by people in front who do a decent speed and then slow to 1mph to traverse a speed hump because their Ferrari Testosterone is not build for 'normal' roads.

Or 'built' even
