I hate police cameras as I have been caught by them twice. The first time I thought there was a man with a gun standing in the middle of the road and the second I thought somebody was going to drop a rock from a motorway bridge, in both cases my natural reaction was to speed up to minimise the danger. Each time I ended up with three points on my license. At least with speed cameras and speed bumps you do not feel that your life is being put in danger.

With fixed speed cameras you know where they are, especially if you have sat nav. Since these are meant to be in accident blackspots they act as a warning of a potentially dangerous area and an area where particular care is needed (especially since many drivers brake to late to reduce speed).

I do worry about the damage the humps do to the underside of my car. When I am driving at the recommended speed I regularly hear clunking noises as I go over. It would be nice if Lewisham roads were suitable for driving cars down (this is not a problem that I find happens so much in other London boroughs).
