You think so? Hmmm... they've just introduced a new system here, where they
'photograph' your car three times over a set distance, and measure the mean
speed over this distance. No braking for the speed cameras- now they've got
you every time!
Also, those stupid illuminated signs are popping up all over the place,
saying 'you're driving too fast' as you pass. I pass one every day in an 80
km/h zone that comes on when I drive 83 on the speedo.

Reasonable? Naah, they've found a great and cheap-to-execute way to extract
even more money from us innocent taxpayers...
