Speed cameras are just a quick and easy way for the goverment to raise money from motorists.
I have had two tickets in our time here - one for driving at 53kmph in a 50kmph zone and one for allegedly jumping a red light.
The red light ticket I disputed simply because I went through the lights as they changed to amber because I had a young French harpie so close behind, had I stopped, she would have been in the back of the car snuggling the dog. Never heard another thing. And yes the car is French registered.
Beware the new wave of speed cameras - unmarked Renault Meganes with cameras front and rear. Oh, and there's a new nasty on the RN147 Poitiers by-pass heading north - 110kmph dropping to 70kmph in the flash of an eye. Or a camera lens.
Also, where's the leeway as in the UK? Fifty-three in a 50 zone is hardly Jenson Button putting his foot down.
