Do speed cameras make roads safer?
Reliance on speed cameras has led to some other serious motoring offences going undetected by officers, according to the head of a motoring organisation.
Edmund King, from the RAC Foundation told the Police Federation's Conference that "robotic" speed enforcement methods were causing motorists to lose respect for the police.
He says the decline in traffic police numbers must stop and police should be "more visibly present" on roads.
Meanwhile, Transport Secretary Alastair Darling has told MPs that a review into the effectiveness of speed cameras will be published next month.
Are speed cameras an effective means of making our roads safer? Should the numbers of traffic police be increased? Tell us what you think.
