I disagree. As much as I hate speed cameras, the way they’ve been implemented (meaning, the fact that you get a letter with evidence and it’s clear you committed the offense, and usually no points, like you might get from a cop) seems to strike a balance of fair punishment.

Now, whether they’re that effective at reducing speeding is a bigger question. Because people just slam the brakes for the 100 feet around the camera and then resume speeding.

Are the UK cameras non-mobile and clearly marked? Making the cameras mobile and not making them obvious should fix that problem.
Still plenty of mobile cameras in the UK
