SPECS speed cameras determine your speed between two locations, rather than measuring your speed at a given point.
These speed cameras are a menace. Few (around 10%) road accidents are caused by speed, which means that most speeding motorists are completely safe. It is other activites such as driving too close and not paying attention to potential hazards that are the major causes of accidents.
If the police really cared about road safety, which I am having doubts about, they would put extra patrol cars on the roads to detect dangerous driving, and not concentrate at all solely on speed.
But they don't. Motorists get more and more speeding tickets, accidents happen more, and drivers are delayed by having to drive more slowly than their judgement dictates is sensible.
