The current disgraceful state of the roads here in Northumberland, and apparently across the rest of the UK, finally puts paid to the absolute lie that speed cameras are about safety. If the previous government cared one jot about road safety, it would never have allowed the roads to disintegrate into little more than dangerous cart tracks, worse than in many third world countries. Who is measuring how many accidents (fatal, serious injury, and damage only) that are occurring many miles from the potholes that caused the damage to the tyres, wheels and suspension components of our vehicles? No one. As a result of increases in fatalities and serious injury accidents, no doubt they will use that as an excuse for more 'safety cameras'. When does The Motorists Rising start, surely we can't be far away?
