London Drivers face 20mph speed enforcement
It feels like driving in London has been made impossible, or at the very best, extremely painful and expensive. Today however things look set to get worse still with the trialing of brand new wifi speed cameras. The cameras will be deployed on the routes with twenty mile per hour speed limits and will work on the same principle as the specs camera that is now all too familiar on our motorways.
The new cameras will be placed at intervals on the road side and communicate with each other using wi fi. Cars will be monitored as they pass each camera and if they reach the second camera in a time that suggests their average speed was higher than the threshold they will be recorded for a fixed penalty notice, three points and a fine.
This represents another major offensive on the British Motorist who has suffered a great deal of pain over the last ten years through extreme and draconian speed enforcement.
