if you drive at the speed limit you won't have a problem
the speed camera will be well signposted (car on the left so this is the UK) while it's not a legal requirement that they have signposts I've never come across a fixed camera that isn't
If you don't break the law you won't have a problem
the camera is painted bright yellow for visibility
once again for the those at the back who are hard of thinking: don't speed and you won't get fined
usually for first time offences if you're just a bit over the limit you'll get the option of a speed awareness course.
You've probably come to expect odd numbered points to tell you to not break the law by now, so I'll mix it up: if you get caught breaking the law and get a slap on the wrist, don't keep breaking the law.

I do agree though that the fining structure should be reformed, it should be a percentage of income with some provision in place so the super rich can't get out of paying their appropriate share too.

this MF is a bootlicker if I've ever seen one.

there are a million ways a cop would fuck you over, primarily being "not white" or looking at them wrong, NOTHING to do with law.

I'll give the UK a break as they're not nearly as bad as the US, but cops are not your friends and that sentence quotes is a joke.

"if you got nothing to hide, let me search your car"

fuck no.

No. This is a safety thing. This is multiple tons moving at speed. This gets regulated.

I don't think anyone has ever received a speeding fine from a speed camera who was going at the speed limit.

Stop being a cunt and think of others road safety.

The first two are newsworthy because of their exceptionality. Thousands of cameras two issues.

The third link points 100% away from the argument that it's just to get revenue. If it were they would be actively decreasing the amount of dropped fines. They'd be making sure cameras were calibrated correctly (as if they're not the court would throw out) and that they weren't

unable to send tickets to motorists in the post within the allotted time before they are no longer valid

and that they wouldn't suffer from a

lack of resources to bring cases to court

how about not being so dense and understand that governments can be wrong and abuse innocent people with no real recourse?

I don't know what the rules are in the USA but over here you should be stopping on amber, not blasting through.

you don't have to blast through, but there are times when you can't stop, and there are expected time frames between yellow to red depending on the speed limit no that street and if the city is reducing that time, when the rest of the nation knows what it should be, that should be 100% criminal charges to whoever decided to do that.
