Speed camera cut down for second time in Cornwall
Speed camera cut down for second time in Cornwall
A speed camera only replaced in November is among two cut down in Cornwall.
It's insane the lengths that some people will go to save a few seconds on their commute, while also endangering others.

Meh, fuck the cameras. They don't stop the actual dangerous drivers and just end up tagging folks going 8mph (13kph) over. Fix the street and infrastructure.
From 1992 to 2016, speed cameras reduced accidents by between 17 to 39 per cent and fatalities by between 58 to 68 per cent within 500 metres of the cameras.
Fixing the infra would be great but local councils often just don't have the money to.
Sounds like they need to increase road taxes then which will have the helpful knock-on affect of reducing the number of cars on the road.
Road tax doesn't exist in the UK, and if it did it wouldn't be something the local council has any control over. We need to get rids of the tories in the central government and start funding local councils better.
Or maybe, you know, just keep to the speed limit?
If you don’t know how keep within 13 km/h of the limit you should just hand in your license and redo the exam.
So why do folks go 13 kph over? And why is that okay?
Because god forbid we have a small variance for error and using common sense. God forbid I go faster when traffic is minimal or use any judgement while driving. Fuck me for thinking a ticket for going 5 over isn't worth a beating.
