UK Speed Camera Locations

Whether you believe that the speed camera is a safety device, a revenue raising device, or do not have an opinion, one thing that you can be sure of and that is that they are here to stay. They certainly raise revenue; about that there is no argument, for as long ago as the year 2003, cameras raised £120 million from the 2 million motorists who were caught by camera, exceeding the speed limit.

For a number of years now, the fixed speed camera has been easily recognisable, as by law they had to be painted a bright fluorescent yellow, with reflective paint making them visible even in the dark.  This is now no longer the case and the camera can be neutral in colour and it can even be placed unobtrusively, or in other words hidden! As always here at Bill Plant driving school, we emphasise that the law and the Highway Code should be obeyed at all times for both the sake of other road users and to keep your all important driving licence clean, breaking the speed limit means three points on your licence, or in the case of excessive speed six points. Keep it clean.

    I wouldn’t be so sure that Speed Cameras are here to stay at all. Their whole purpose is supposedly to improve road safety, but research and statistics do not bear out this claim. Changes to their financing and rules for installation have now finally resulted in an end to their growth; the Department for Transport seems to be distancing itself from their deployment. Many pointers are now indicating a retreat by the government. For more information, see www.safespeed.org.uk
