News: Speedcam to net £1.3m a year - and it's not about safety

pocketgpsworld.comA controversial speed camera site in Poole, Dorset has been catching 1,800 motorists every month, that is a total income of over £1.3m a year.

The speed camera is cynically placed at a spot where the dual-carriageway speed limit reduces to 30mph and has been installed despite official accident figures that show there have been no fatalities in over 10 years.

Perhaps we can now ask that they stop calling them 'Safety Cameras' and admit that they are, as many of us suspect, simply another income stream.
