Your comments are flooding in after the publication today of Ben Webster’s story about the introduction of clusters of speed cameras monitoring the average speed of drivers.

The digital cameras will be rolled out on hundreds of roads next year, making it impossible to evade detection when drivers rise above the speed limit because they will cover every entry and exit point and – unlike earlier versions – never run out of film.

“More cameras = more Big Brother”, writes John of Colchester, while Ash from Doncaster replies: “Those of you who say it’s another way of bleeding money out of you – don’t speed and it won’t cost you!”

It’s clearly a divisive issue. Jeremy Clarkson, for one, has aired his views on such safety technology on this website before.

All of which leads us to ask one question: average-speed cameras – for or against? Tell us now by voting in our poll.
