Econ, I still have my car restricted as I don't trust myself, and I really do drive like grandad 95% of the time - but it's that 5% when you get caught by these damned things!.

I think they need to look at why there are accidents and why as I heard the other day - teenage girls are at more risk of being killed or injured by their teenage driving boyfriends. All too often I'm reading about a car full of kids being killed. Make every male driver between 17 and 19 drive a trabant! ....
Wish I could drive at 70 the fastest place on the island is the expressway withh a grand speed limit of 70kph argh
70 may seem slow but you also have to remember the little country backroads are all 60 thats insane to some.

The sole purpose of the Speed Camera is to slow the traffic down at Accident Blackspots. Changing the colour to make them blend in with their surrounding defeats the object of the speed camera if you ask me.

Oh but I forgot, the purpose of the Speed Camera is line Gordon Brown's pocket :x How could I be so cynical. Must update my Road Angel more regularly.
