As an analogy - off duty policeman walks peacefully around south Glasgow. Occasionally folk start on him, and he flashes his badge. Eventually someone comes along and he gets a punch in the face, then arrests the miscreant concerned.
Just because everyone is doing something, doesn't mean it's acceptable. High time to get rid of the requirement for speed cameras to be marked, that would soon ensure speed limits are seen as a limit rather than a guideline. The police don't announe the locations they are conducting drink drive checks do they? Won't happen of course, the car lobby is much too powerful.
I agree that it doesn't sound like a great example though (and the focus on motorway speeding is stupid IMO).
(No offence meant to anyone from that fine city BTW).
