That's a very good point: if the cameras are there to prevent accidents, then these databases really are doing their job in making people slow down for them.
> if the cameras are there to prevent accidents cameras are to easily collect fines.
win for you, win for the community!
What do you do when cameras start calculating the average speed over some distance, rather than doing single-spot measurements? :)
The journalists should inform themselves better, as European I doubt anyone is easily left of the hook if caught during a police control using such device.

The thing with these systems is when you get caught, you don't pay a simple fine, you just loose your driving license. The journalists should inform themselves better, as European I doubt anyone is easily left of the hook if caught during a police control using such device.

So, you can easily show those jerks, simply by respecting the speed limit! win for you, win for the community!
The reason the Netherlands employs so many mobile speed traps is because people quickly learn where the fixed speed traps are and simply ignore the speed limits in between, or try to "make up for time lost by having to brake for a speed trap" (yes, I've heard and seen plenty of people do this).
This is why radar detectors are illegal in the Netherlands.

You could still be warned that you are aproaching the area though. Interestingly these use front mounted cameras (to capture the driver) so have no effect on motorbikes - though the general slower speed seems to slow them on the motorways.
As a cyclist (and driver) I think they are great for city driving, and a much better solution than speedbumps or other calming measures.
