Says John Davies, of the Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety, which sited and is responsible for maintaining the camera: “We were contacted by the Lancashire Evening Post and other Preston media, who had received a number of calls from motorists worried that they would mistakenly receive a three penalty point licence endorsement and a £60 fine.
Now I seem to recall a safety camera partnership manager telling us there was no need to panic brake, and that ACPO guidelines allowed for speedo error etc. etc., yet here is a spokesman for a similar partnership admitting that no matter how stupid, or unlikely it might seem (they were stationary/very slow at the time) these motorists were actually afraid they would still be given the points.
Isn't that the DISTRACTION element they deny exists?
Why worry about the road/pedestrians in front of you, when you should look at your speedo, (and probably the time) in order to be able to argue your case later!!!!! It
IS stupid, but it happens!
