It's been like that for years in the UK where Halloween isn't such a big thing. It's usually the last week of August for most shops to start getting stuff out.
November? It's late August in the UK.
Probably played some golf on the moon.
The first two are newsworthy because of their exceptionality. Thousands of cameras two issues.
The third link points 100% away from the argument that it's just to get revenue. If it were they would be actively decreasing the amount of dropped fines. They'd be making sure cameras were calibrated correctly (as if they're not the court would throw out) and that they weren't
unable to send tickets to motorists in the post within the allotted time before they are no longer valid
and that they wouldn't suffer from a
lack of resources to bring cases to court
Riiighhtt because you're sooo busy and soooo important to your job that you can't take a morning off. Speed awareness course is like 4 hours and you can do over video call. Get a fucking grip.
Or, if you are genuinely so important and busy you must be paid a bomb, so just pay the fine, take the points, pay the bit extra on insurance. Job done.
Or, here's an idea. Don't break the mother fucking law in the first place.
"hi boss I need to take a half day holiday on X date, I have to attend a speed awareness course"
"Hey bob, can I swap a shift with you on X date, I'll work your X Saturday. I've got to attend a speed awareness course "
Or if you're to chicken to tell the truth replace with dentist. Or just throw a sickie.
It's hardly rocket science.
Sadly around 2019
In the vicinity of camera sites, the pre/post reductions ranged from 8% to 49% for all crashes and 11% to 44% for fatal and serious injury crashes. Compared with controls, the relative improvement in pre/post injury crash proportions ranged from 8% to 50%.
I mean I don't know how you could think it wouldn't be. Well signposted camera will help you pay more attention to your speed on the slope, it's woods so presumably animals could run out at you.
If you can't see a bright fucking yellow speed camera, and haven't been paying attention to the ten dozen signed, then that's 100% on you.
if you drive at the speed limit you won't have a problem
the speed camera will be well signposted (car on the left so this is the UK) while it's not a legal requirement that they have signposts I've never come across a fixed camera that isn't
If you don't break the law you won't have a problem
the camera is painted bright yellow for visibility
once again for the those at the back who are hard of thinking: don't speed and you won't get fined
usually for first time offences if you're just a bit over the limit you'll get the option of a speed awareness course.
You've probably come to expect odd numbered points to tell you to not break the law by now, so I'll mix it up: if you get caught breaking the law and get a slap on the wrist, don't keep breaking the law.
I do agree though that the fining structure should be reformed, it should be a percentage of income with some provision in place so the super rich can't get out of paying their appropriate share too.
Road safety is bad mmkay
So working smarter, not harder.
