Just been reading an article about this, and it says that councils have netted over £182million in fines since 2012 for offences like:
Driving illegally in bus lanes
Stopping in box junctions
Illegal U-turns.
Are we supposed to feel pity for these drivers? If they didn't break the law they would not be fined - very few offences are accidental, and almost all of them commit the offences by deliberate acts.
And why emphasize the use of CCTV, any more than being caught by a traffic cop. On our congested roads the police cannot be everywhere, and it makes good sense that technology is used to fill the gap. Many of the drivers caught probably have CCTV fitted to catch any criminal acts on their domestic premises (but that's different, isn't it? !!!!!!)
What's the next gripe going to be - getting caught out as the guilty party to an accident because the other guy had a dashcam?
