A report in This Is Grimsby says that 2,000 speeding motorists were caught in 2009/10 by North East Lincolnshire’s 13 speed cameras.
My view on speed cameras has always been:
- speeding is illegal
- if you don’t speed you don’t get in trouble
This is irrespective of any separate opinions I might periodically hold about where they are situated or what their true purpose is based on various stories that crop up.
The point here is that the number of road deaths has decreased significantly.
No one is saying the cameras are the only contributor to reduced deaths. However, there is evidence that they definitely reduce speed – at least near them.
