As a driver of many years, I donıt know how other drivers feel but in
recent years, parallel with the spread of the cameras, my perception,
for what itıs worth, has been that driving standards and common
courtesy have gone completely out of the window.

Perhaps itıs just my age but, away from the cameras, never before have
I experienced so much arrogant, selfish and downright dangerous
driving of a sort that routinely passes for being called a motorist
nowadays.


I think part of it (and I also think I've said this here before) is that
the installation of speed cameras and the reduction in traffic police
out on the road has given the message to some people that speed limits
only matter where there's a camera.
