I am more tolerant than most with regards speed cameras. It's true they don't capture the drunks, uninsured, etc, but you do have to be speeding before they get you...
Then again, it's lapses in observation that would result in you getting caught (was with me, and a bit of red mist), so if you can't see a big yellow van on the roadside, you kinda deserve it.. it could after all be a small child about to run out, and if you don't see a big yellow van, how could you hope to see a small child ? That's my view on it, and it helps to stop me getting all wound up by them.

I'd much prefer to have traffic officers on the roads though.
