The government and the mainstream media would have us believe that no matter what the weather conditions, the car you are driving, how busy the roads are or the state of mind you happen to be in at a particular time, there is only one velocity that it is safe to travel at on UK roads. This is a patently ridiculous idea that surfaced at some point in the distant past of our motoring culture and its the thing that has caused many of us to resort to using speed camera detectors.
Who was it that decided that 70 miles per hour was the fastest that a human could travel in a motor vehicle? It doesn’t matter if you are in a Ferrari, an old mini or on a top of the range motorcycle, travel at over 70 mph and you are endangering your own life and that of all those around you. Disregard the fact that all these vehicles have varying degrees of effectiveness when it comes to braking, cornering and accelerating these factors are irrelevant to the powers that be. Also to be ignored is the fact that drivers constantly have differing degrees of alertness that only they themselves can realise.
I mean how who well do you drive when you have had a good nights sleep, have got nothing negative on your mind and are out in your car for a relaxing 45 minute drive. Contrast this with the driving of someone who is in a foul mood because they have just split up with their partner, hasn’t slept for two nights with anxiety and is late for an appointment for the dentists. I mean can both these people be considered safe at 70 mph on a busy motorway? I’d contend that the second person shouldn’t be on the road for the safety of all road users but the law has nothing to say on the matter because its something that can’t be measured. If they could measure it you can be sure they would fine anyone in such a state for all they could get.
Perfect Road For A Speed Camera Detector
That nice round 70 mph number though is easily measurable and all other unmeasurable factor are thrown out the window. If you want to guard against this unfair use of technology then you have to take action in the form of buying a camera detector. You could just slow down you driving but if you are on he roads a lot or particularly enjoy driving a bit faster than is allowed when the conditions are right then the radar detector is the only choice.
