Mazda Enters Speed Camera Debate

[aussiblue]

From my own involvement in creating legislation in a past life, I would also observe that for laws to be effective you need both effective compliance and acceptance of the laws and compliance activities by most of those impacted. Without the latter, people will endeavour to individually, conspiring with others or in formal or informal groups, to:
a) avoid;
b) evade;
c) circumvent; or
d) overturn
... the related law.

I guess that is where we are at with speeding and speed cameras. We don't have the full acceptance by all the community of the compliance activities and to some extent the law itself. But I am not sure how you convince those that there should be speed limits and that speed cameras are an effective and acceptable compliance activity. It is also obviously an issue that people on both sides argue with passion but not always with objective reason.
