Sticking to speed limit - local council have won.
Discussion
Living in North Yorks I'm blessed with fantastic scenery and open roads, I also believe it's one of the only counties in [i]England[/] with no fixed cameras.
However, it does have a very active mobile speed camera crew which although easily enough to anticipate, can still catch you out if not paying attention.
Recently it's been announced that an extra 12 smaller mobile units are now in operation, in essence they are handheld devices so can easily be concealed in more hard to reach locations?
The result?
I'm now driving like I'm on my test, no more driving to conditions but a rigid adherence to speed limits, it's simply not worth the additional points for only a few more MPH extra.
I'm glad I get my enjoyment these days from leg powered, two wheeled transport.

I should be clear that I'm not advocating speeding, most of my driving is entirely sensible, being more than happy to follow the car in front.
It's actually a very effective policy and should act as a major deterrent, I just hope I don't fall victim to a 'careless' 44 in a 40 or similar.
