100% there to make money.

Just like adding tax to alcohol is supposed to act as a deterrent. Blatant lies.

There are 3 relatively new things on the road that annoy me. Speed camera I have come to accept and avoid, these annoy the fuckwich out of me:

Average Speed Cameras
They clock your number plate using one of many cameras, then once you have left the final camera, they average your speed and fine you if it was over the limit. This means people crawling along perfectly good straights on dual carriage ways.

Bus Lane Cameras
If you should stray into a bus lane, even if its empty, is safe to do so and follows the natural racing line to where you want to go. Bam! Fine in the post. Even if you are helping to cause a jam in the lane you are, exiting into the empty stretch of road (which if everyone could do it there wouldn't be half as much traffic) you still get fined. It's not as if buses are hard to spot before you nip in the lane quickly to get to a junction shortly up the road.

Camera Cars
These little fuckers drive around with a camera on top. They scan and snap and catch loads of people. Bus bays, yellows etc. all without stoping. Drive and snap! Bastards!
