If the economy depended on camera fines, then surely fining people for doing 31mph in a 30 linit would improve the economy no end  . You can't have it both ways. 
Moral of story: Don't drive above the speed limit. If you do and get caught, don't moan about it. Take responsibility for your own illegal actions and say it's a fair cop guv  |

Not me. I've seen the ones where they mention 40 and 30 (and possibly 20) but never any which end in 5.

Agreed 100%. Speeding fines are an optional, entirely avoidable tax on the unwary or careless.
I'm sorry gem, but if you think that the paltry sums raised in speeding fines have any effect on the billions being thrown around by the government at the moment then you need to learn some arithmetic.
Just wait until Gordon's loans have to be paid back, and you will see what real, unavoidable taxes are like.
(Sorry - that really is going off topic) |
