"I was stopped for speeding but I am all for the speed cameras. I am glad that I got stopped for speeding - my foolish driving could have killed someone! I wasn't driving much over the limit but the limit is there for a reason. If you don't want to pay the fine, don't speed. I for one will never take the risk again!"



I was so glad when my mum stopped me running with scissors

"S Gonzales from Manchester: "I come from Mexico originally and I have to say I have driven in a lot of countries around the globe and find the best drivers in Wales. The consideration and road awareness of the Welsh is far in excess of most people. I don't understand why speed cameras need to be installed in Wales because of this observation. Of course, the big problem is overcautioness... speed is a neccessity these days and to ration it like post war smokey bacon is reprehensible. Come on people - put your right foot down and let's drive!"

Nurse...ribs ache....
