SHOCK: MP backs motorists

At last an MP that is on the side of the motorist!

Hemel Hempstead MP, Mike Penning, table an Early Day Motion about the over use of speed cameras on Britains roads.

In his EDM, no. 810, he states: "That this House notes that the number of speed cameras has risen dramatically on UK roads; further notes that the Government has admitted that not all of them are appropriately placed and that motorists are increasingly frustrated that many of them are installed as a cash raising mechanism; and calls on the Government to launch a thorough review of all speed camera locations leading to the removal of cameras which do not improve road safety".

And not a moment too soon.
