00:00They do more good than just raise revenue. They do slow traffic down a lot.

00:07Some people think that they're there to bring money into the pot, but no.

00:14I think they're there to keep the, even speed bumps, same thing, keep the speed limit on.

00:20It's very debatable, isn't it, because some people slow down,

00:25and some people go a little bit fast, which can cause accidents,

00:31but I think there's too many cameras on the road for the purpose of money.

00:39I'm a drive myself, so I keep to the speed limit, don't go over the speed limit,

00:43because it saves lives. So yeah, I agree with the cameras.

00:47I travel to London quite often, and I've noticed,

00:52because there are more speed cameras on the motorways,

00:56there are not as many people go over the speed limit.
