Dear Editor:
Again there is a proliferation of letters against speed cameras with misinformed reasoning. Emergency response vehicles are registered with the authorities and don’t get fined for speeding to an emergency.
Speed bumps and road width restrictions are also a hazard for emergency vehicles. We only just got the many potholes repaired and now “they” want bumps back again.
Instead of getting veterans and seniors tested by drawing clocks, etc., we should get the younger folks to take tests having to draw road speed signs to see if they know what they mean.
It’s like the wild west in some parts and there is that element of drivers who let you know they are coming because they have tampered with their exhaust systems, which of course is illegal, and then there are vehicles with wheels sticking out, which is also illegal and unsafe.
Speed cameras are the only things that really work, but unfortunately, the people in charge of it all can’t seem to get anything right either.
Malcolm McCulloch,
