When I see the camera I take my foot off the accelerator and gently slow down to the speed limit.
If you need to break either you need glasses, the local police are breking the rules on painting them yellow, or you need to learn to look further than the end of your bonnet. Or, radical thought, keep your speed down!

If someone brakes, it means one of two things... they are actually speeding, and the camera just stopped them, or the are incredibly paraniod, in which case they probably do the same thing every time they see an oncoming car with a luggage rack that looks like a lightbar.
There are law against following too close, for reasons as stated.

I don't know what a talivan is, but I do know about traffic cameras.
Where are you getting your data from regarding rear-end collisions? The studies by the Ga DOT, Tn DOT, NY DOT, NJ DOT, and Ca DOT do not back you up. Neither does the AAA. If someone hits you, it was because they were following too closely.
But to answer your question, given a choice between safety cameras or terror cameras, I will take the safety cameras.

. Go to the cause of the dilemma which was speeding. Had one not been speeding, he would have no need for braking, which would have given the driver to the rear a normal driving pattern so he wouldn't be caught napping and would not have rear-ended the front driver.You are right about the police getting the blame.But isn't that the usual case for people who shirk their responsibility ?

if you aren't speeding, it shouldn't be a problem. also if you are maintaining proper following distance, again not a problem. but to the people who have watched "gone in 60 seconds" to many times, yeah, it might be a problem.
