    Yes because there is a feeling that speed cameras and traffic wardens are there to catch you out and raise money rather than actually catch dangerous drivers (like drunk drivers and those that drive at excessive speed).

    Aren't speed cameras trying to catch people who drive at excessive speed? Isn't the point of speed limits to standardise what constitutes "excessive speeding"? Ie the bloke who drives at what you think is an excessive speed probably feels the same way you do about going slightly faster than the speed limit - that it's not dangerous. Everybody thinks they know best.

    They are only allowed to be put in places where there is evidence that excessive speed is causing accidents, well at least that is the case in Hampshire. This is probably because of the perception that they are used as a cash cow.
