Re: [Staffslug] BIOS passwords
i passed 4 minors, the problem i have with speed cameras is.. they
don't force you to slow down you slow down.. go through pissed off and
as a result speed up again.. thats statistic - they don't reduce
accidents either, bad drivers are what cause accidents.. (and you
can't include me because BSM said i have the fastest reactions of
anyone they've ever seen :P)
if you want to slow down traffic, put in chicanes.. those SID devices
which tell you your speed (people take notice of that!) and although
we all hate them - speed bumps make you aware of your speed and slow
you down
IMO the real problem is drivers who tootle along in their own world
across high speed roundabouts at 10 mph.. pulling out and cutting
people up.. i had one almost have a heart attack when i beeped her for
pulling out about 10m infront of me and deciding to then slow down and
observe.. i had to swerve and emergency brake on a roundabout from
30mph (reginald mitchell way, if anyone knows it) it's a series of
large 30mph roundabouts with excellent visability in all directions

I have to say that I agree with scrapping most speed cameras. There
are very few that are sited properly. If speed cameras are really
supposed to stop/prevent accidents on the road then why are they not
sited outside every school in the land?
