The cameras use similar technology to the average speed check units currently in use on motorways. The difference is that they can track cars in built up urban areas. If they find a car has covered a distance at an average speed higher than the limit, fines can be automatically generated.

Clarkson?

Law abiding motorists are an easy target for the governments revenue generation. OK, you dip over the speed limit and you are breaking the law would be the reply I would expect and this system could counter that but I think that common sense should prevail when dealing with speed in general. Better driver education and more police on the road is the only way, but this costs money, so cue another stealth tax

Vote with your feet and get the frack out of here

None of the above.

They're all the same.

We are an easy target :S

At the rate the government is wanting to installing speed cameras, we could have these things on every lamp post in the country :no:

Speeding is not the issue, surveillance and control are the objectives. Power corrupts, absolute power...

There are many ways of tracking the motorist.

Best turn that mobile phone off next time you drive........
