ARE the speed cameras sited in all directions really doing the job as intended at their outset? Let's examine facts -- 271 extra cameras erected in the last six years but no reduction in fatalities in that time.
How many more of these spying devices are to be sited on the roads, bringing misery to the generally careful motorists who may fall into the net, being only marginally over the limit?
The motorist has always been the first to feel the arm of the law as the huge quantities of fine money which are now being collected show.
Real criminals, burglars and murderers, offences of the first magnitude, could take time to resolve, but the car drivers are so easy to pick up and can be caught more easily.
