Swindon has turned off fixed cameras, the money now goes straight to the big pot of tax in london and maybe a small amount will be given back, decided the �400, 000 is better spent on active policing�.thats quite a few coppers in cars

and maybe they are spending our money better

�Official figures also revealed a five per cent rise in deaths from drink-drive accidents.
They killed 430 people last year, compared with 410 in 2007. Tories claimed the figures showed cameras were being used as a money-making racket.
Shadow transport secretary Theresa Villiers said: "Labour's over-reliance on speed cameras has left their strategy for preventing road collisions seriously flawed.�

if the cameras work then they are not self funding, fines v costs go into the red, short term gimmick that at best doesnt solve the problem at worst makes it worse, need the fear factor back on the roads only active policing can do that and they will prevent and catch more than one offense that makes our roads unsafe
