The rehabilitation of the Speeding Driver

摘要

Use 1: Hazardous location indicator! Today, most automatic safety cameras for detecting speeding motorists are located at crash hot spots. The deployment criteria being followed by the more than 40 Safety Camera Partnerships across the UK require fixed-site cameras to be placed where there are elevated levels of recent, and speed-related, Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs). The cameras are also highly visible, being painted yellow or, up here in Scotland, with rather fetching yellow and red diagonal stripes. Their first use is thus to signal to the approaching driver 'Look out! Take extra care! This has of late proved to be a dangerous stretch of road.' They do not, however, provide any further site-specific hazard information ('What, exactly, should I be looking out for?') beyond this general alerting function.
