I was caught on Speed Camera driving at 63mph on the M20 when the outside lane had been cordoned off for road works and a speed limit of 50 was in force. My fine was the statutory £60 plus 3 points. This took place several years ago and I am still bitter and twisted about it. Should I be? No of course not, I was breaking the ‘law’. So why am I still bitter and twisted about it? I was caught at 4:30am. There was no traffic, there were no workmen and two lanes of the motorway were open. Still breaking the ‘law’? Well yes, but I could be travelling along a two-lane country road at 60mph with driveways, tractors and crossroads, at rush hour in heavy traffic. A car could be approaching in the opposite direction with a closing speed of 120mph and no barrier between us. Not advisable but perfectly legal. Isn’t it time that the police or whoever are responsible for enforcing speed limits enforce the spirit of the law and not the letter? Come on. Lets have a bit of common sense and stop hitting the soft targets and stop saying that the cameras are safety cameras. The majority are simply to raise cash.
