But I choose not to contribute to that revenue. If I slip up and get caught: my problem.
And lastly, it's not too much to ask to stick to the speed limit. If you find that you have trouble checking the speedo, how about go a few ks slower than the limit to give you that leeway  |
please, no logic on this forum

Possibly the only one, but I believe it's highly unlikely. I believe that everyone once in their years of driving has had a little surprise when they have looked down at the speedo and found they were above the limit. And if they say they haven't. They are lying

i have sped before and no doubt i will again. i speed too much - but i see the cameras. does that mean i am aware or lucky - maybe a bit of both, but there is no way, so many people can be caught by them if they are aware of their surroundings. surroundings include speed cameras, cars, bikes, trucks, pedestrian, kids, animals, pot holes etc. if you are not aware of your surroundings, you deserve the fine. the ones i have got, i accepted. i knew the rules, but chose to ignore them or be ignorant - my fault, my penalty - end of story
but more importantly - no complaints
