The expanding universe
Discussion
There are at least three models of our expanding universe, apparently. In one model, it simply expands for all eternity. In the second, the rate of expansion gets slower and slower, until eventually the universe reaches a fixed size. In the third, the rate of expansion slows, then the universe starts shrinking again, faster and faster until it implodes in on itself in a "big crunch". At the moment, scientists can't agree on which model is the correct one.
So what are people's views on the way speed cameras, and speed enforcement generally will go in the next 5 to 10 years, in this country?
Will the cameras just keep sprouting up, until literally every last mile of the road network is covered?
Will they reach an equilibrium?
Or will it reach a point where we're all either banned, or driving so slowly that they become uneconomic? Meanwhile the death rate continues to rise, it's eventually realised that they don't save lives after all, and they're all ripped out again, as in Canada?

Aask the climate scientists. They'll put you right in a jiffy
One of two things:
Technology applied to the vehicle so that it will be impossible to speed. Over weekend read an article that scientists are working on a device operated through GPS/sattelite that will apply brakes of car if going too fast. And they think that is a safety measure.
Two. The rate of consumption of motion lotion is about to outstrip what can be supplied with only a fleeting glimse of what can replace it. Anybody with children in the 10 year age group should worry for their future at say 40 years of age when they may recall days when Dad could bomb around with just speed cameras and the energy to do it.
