Speed ......

I went through another speed camera yesterday - damn damn damn - and I was in boring work car too and not even my fast one. The speed limits are very low here and even lower coming up to lights etc where they hide them in very obscure places- yeah, they move them around, you never know where they are until you see that sickening 'flash.'
Thing is, I'm all for speed cameras if they are in places - like school crossings etc - where speeding really is a hazard. But they put these things in spots where motorists are just likely to be not paying completely rapt attention to the (abruptly changing) speed limit signs, not really where driving - mostly only a little over the limit - is dangerous. It's a real revenue gathering trip :P
Never mind - weekend nearly here and it will be drivingless yay!
