More proof speed cameras don't work!

[funkyrobot]

On my way to work this morning, approach a T-junction that is covered by a speed camera in a 30mph zone (so its safe!), what do I see just infront of the camera's white lines? Two cars mangled into each other!

I'm glad the speed camera was there otherwise it would have been a lot worse i'm sure!

I think everyone was ok, it didn't look like a big speed crunch.

Should have taken a photo!

That's the problem, they don't reduce accidents at all, simply, possibly, the injuries will be slightly lower (but improvements in vehicle safety will have a better impact).

on the tipton rd in dudley port.

the council have just fitted a pair of cameras on a road where there has NEVER been an accident.

its installed behind a tree just behind a hidden dip.

unless you're a local, there no way in hell you'll spot it!

Unless you are speeding there's no way in hell it will catch you.

State the obvious.

My next car is having a head up display.

My next car won't have an accelerator pedal. It will have a row of six buttons marked 20mph, 30mph, 40mph, 50mph, 60mph and 70mph.

is that the same road which has no clear speed signs? Pretty sure I have been down there and thought it was 40 due to the last sign I had seen, but then got told off about it been a 30 (luckily mr cop noticed that there were no signs either)
