It's about time that all speed cameras were removed, they have NO bearing on safety. Speed camera's have been shown to just move accidents further down the road, these new ones will do the same.
Police on the road can make a judgement call if the speed is dangerous, that is fair, cameras aren't.

Bill Mclaren, Stirling, Scotland

I suppose they can justify it as usual by saying that it will cut congestion and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Well, if 90% of drivers are off the road with 12 points, it would, wouldn't it?

Ronnie Wibbley, Leighton Buzzard, UK

They installed these so called 'super cameras' in ireland, one set has successfully managed to convicted one driver, another has managed seventy seven.

At a couple of million pounds a go, they're going to take a very very long time to pay for themselves.

George, Fordingbridge, England

Liverpool University have already declared that the life saving or speed cameras has been grossly exaggerated.

It's a con, we all know it's a con and guess what? ...at the next election Labour aren't going to get away with it, just like Ken Livingstone when he had the same idea for London.

George, Fordingbridge, England

I hope the people rise to this and put everyone of these put of action

Kevin, london, England

Once more the government wants our cash but has to invent a new tax to raise cash!

Really I mean what's next? Implants in our cars that track our every move, that's the direction we are going under Labour!

Wont matter they get burnt out or turned to face a wall in Liverpool any way....

MR W Jones, Liverpool, England

Speed. per se, is not a killer. It's inappropriate speed that causes problem. The vast majority of accidents where speed may be a factor occur WITHIN the posted speed limits. This fixation with speed rather than driver skill is what allows the 3000+ deaths per year to happen.

Chris Palmer, Southampton,

The AA and ABD have no evidence to support their ludicrous claims that this will make driving more dangerous. By tacitly condoning speeding, they are in effect supporting criminal behaviour that leads to more deaths and serious injuries than knife and gun crime put together.

C. Nichol, London, UK

The British, being a sheep-like flock, will accept this new insult from the masters without resistance as always.

Gervas Douglas, Andorra la Vella, Andorra

I used not to agree with speed cameras, but my opinion has changed when I regularly witness maniacal speeding on our roads. Something has to be done to stop these lunatics racing at 60 mph through built up areas that are only safe at a 20 mph. Fines are just too low. They have to hurt.

albert hall, hove, england

The main motivation for this camera system is for Government and security services' spying.
Motorways, generally the safest roads are also the main routes for travelling around the country. It is not sufficient to have copies of all of your emails and texts. Your masters want to know where you go.

Harry H, London, UK

FACT - this has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with garnering more income to cover unfunded pensions of staff working in the 'safety' scamera partnerships.

Cars are getting safer every year, but the public-sector needs to gobble up more and more tax!

Colin Soames, London,

Richard Heade and Charles Beckett-Pugh just keep to the left please.

Ian Burgess, Bristol,

All cars should be fitted with cruise control as standard, job done that will stop them making any money

Richard Tilford, Hucknall, Nottingham

So driving at 70mph at 3am on a bright summer's morning with no traffic about poses the same risk as driving at 70mph at 5pm on a winter's evening when it's raining does it?

Anyone who thinks you should drive at the same speed irrespective of conditions shouldn't be on the road in the first place.

Andrew, Bristol, UK

The Governments abuse of road fines and of turning th ePolice into nothing but a new form of tax collector has certainaly changed my perception of law & order.

matt, Norwich, UK

I think the AA response is pathetic. They sound as if they condone breaking the speed limit. What do they think the speed limit is for? Also, tailgaters should be prosecuted for dangerous driving. I'm with Richard Heade on this.

Charles Bockett-Pugh, Sandhurst,

More money for the treasury.

judy, Liverpool, England

Another source of revenue for our financially & morally bankrupt Government! Do you really believe that they give a damn about us? Of course not! It'll just be more money for illegal wars & MPs perks!

M.Thomas, Llanharan, S.Wales

Welcome to the surveilance society.

Arnold Ward, Weybridge, Surrey, UK

Speed and safety have some correlation, but far more important is driving skill. Arbitary speed limits, particulary those that are unrealistic simply detract from concentrating on the road rather than the speedomiter. We are becoming a rules based, overpopulated benefit dependant society

james, Sevenoaks,

Not one of these cameras will be intended for the purpose of road safety. The real use for these systems is mass surveillance, and it will be financed by speed fines.
-it`s about time the government was taken to the European Court by the motoring organisations. Speed cameras are for spying .

Simon McCall, Leeds, UK

To keep to any limit exactly is not possible without studying the speedo rather than the road. So to take this seriously speed will have to be a lot less than the limit so that occasional variations are not prejudicial. Some will say this is a good thing, but it will cause no end of agression.

D.L. Stephens, York, England

About time to. I'm fed up with being one of the few people on British motorways adhering to the speed limit. There should be a zero-tolerance approach.

Richard Heade, Oxford, UK
