well said...too much money spent on catching people driving badly when they think they are fine when it should be spent on prevention.
But all that said....I would say that for every under 21 who is a dangerous driver there is 3 people between 30-50 who are just as dangerous
But if the threat of being caught isnt there, people will speed. Saying the money should be spent on prevention is all well and good but there really is no teaching some people and some people think they know best and these are the people who need that threat of being caught to keep them within the limits.
I didn't really mean the getting caught bit. More about the fact that the limits keep being reduced and they are generally reduced to attempt to curb the speed of people who are are probably still going to speed even though its been reduced. So it actually inconveniences the people that do stick to the limit, when previously the higher limit has been fine for god knows how many years. (Although don't they have to have good reason for road deaths on a road before reducing a limit???)
Plus I don't think cameras are a bad thing necessarily but the driving test clearly doesn't work when people like those shown on this program struggle with the simple tasks in driving!
