Speed cameras, the curse of all motorists.
Even the most law abiding of us periodically breach speed limits.
As we all know, speeding convictions attract endorsements on our licences and if we get enough of them, we could, at worst, face a ban from driving for a specified period and/or look forward to enjoying increased insurance premiums at next renewal.
There are 41.2 million drivers in the UK according to DVLA driving statistics and Swinton, one of the UK’s leading high street insurers, conservatively estimates that between six to eight million of these drivers have points on their licence.
Following a survey conducted by YouGov on behalf of Swinton, 48% of drivers consider it time for the government to rethink their approach to managing speeding.
It is unquestionable that speed is considered a contributory factor in many accidents but constant accusations of simply using these cameras to generate income is misdirecting people’s opinion and benefits they bring.
The survey revealed that opinions are split regarding the concept of drivers being rewarded for safe driving with 48% believing a random financial bonus awarded by speeding cameras would be a good idea and 44% thinking it wasn’t.
An interesting concept – just imagine receiving a cheque in the post congratulating you on good driving.
It may also help reduce the number of drivers out there that have failed to advise DVLA of their new address as well.
