It's very easy to say "He hasn't got a point", but have you ever come up with a shred of evidence that a huge number of speed cameras, and virtually nothing else, is the right road "safety" policy? If not, then surely it's *you* who hasn't got a point (other than, perhaps, "I like cameras because I don't like motorists"). Every time I demonstrate that (for example) speed limits don't affect the safety of a particular speed in the slightest, it all goes quiet, because none of the trolls can come up with any answer, and don't they know it. It's their refusal to get into specifics, and their advance knowledge of their inability to show that cameras work, that indicates that the trolls know that cameras don't save lives, and they only support them because they HATE MOTORISTS.

Pathetic, vacuous and without the slightest merit. The vast majority of the anti-motorist trolls' posts are exactly the same. Not very good.
