Uk Plans Speed Camera Satellite

[Iconic Bionic]

The aerial speed enforcement plane should just be called the aerial speed camera plane in my book.

Same thing, you just score it in the mail weeks later.

Aerial speed enforcement is quite expensive - plane requires regular maintenance, you need a pilot and a camera man. Suppose it doesn't bother the govt when they're pissing away tax payer money.

I got a feeling it wont last long. I dont think there finding and issuing too many fines.

Here's a better idea...use the aircraft for spotting lunatic/inconsiderate/dangerous drivers full stop.

So many worse things you can do on a motorway besides travelling over the speed limit.

Not to mention that getting a ticket in the mail a few weeks later isnt a way to have an immediate impact. Get pulled over by a cop and you'll probably slow down for a bit starting the minute the sirens come on. Get done by a camera you didnt see and the next day you could be hitting a kid in a school zone or having a major accident, etc.. then you get a fine a few weeks later.

In uni as part of my studies one course looked at motivational theory and the concept of proximity of reward or punishment to the deed itself is quite important. So it would seem the people in charge of our road network have an education that didnt reach as high as first year business studies. And we wonder why the RTA is so useless.
