Discussion forum - caught speeding?
Do you think that police speed traps and Gatso cameras are out there just to make money? Have you ever been caught speeding and received points on your licence, do you think the fine was fair?

I think it pertinent to bear in mind that such 'low profile' or hidden cameras are used in places such as villages and around schools - i.e. in areas of high risk. With that in mind the driver should have adjusted speed anyway. Even if all safety cameras were removed you would stil...more | Darren |

I believe your argument is broadly correct in that the majority of drivers who are caught speeding have not been sufficently alert. Fixed speed cameras i.e 'Gatso', 'Truvelo' and the 'Specs' average speed cameras are usually (but not always) highlighted and signed....more | Congo |
| 25-11-2009 | No offence intended to all those staring at a fine - but have you actually considered why you consider yourself safe drivers ?
