i ran over one earlier and somethine clanked on my car, i hate and loathe them, they ruin cars and no i do not speed over them but just the normal driving over them ten times a day ruins springs and other parts costing loads of money.

I would prefer a speed camera, in fact speed cameras up the whole of the roads with bumps. i do not speed in my car but the bumps are starting to really irk me now.

i expect people will say iabu but i don't think i am, i just think there are other and better ways to slow vehicles. chicanes to slow flow etc. placing massive humps in the middle of the road isn't the way we should be heading [grr]

I would imagine there would be huge opposition to a scheme like that in a lot of areas

Yes there will be huge opposition, but they still are going ahead, we(whole community) objected to the test scheme, and it is digitalised so not personal at the moment.

basically it will be the most cost effect way (very cheap to install and to run) of cutting speed everywhere(apart from everyone agreeing to not drive like idiots), also it will not slow down emergency services and best way to make money, so there is very little chance of it not going ahead,

Slow is the new fast, or at least it soon will be, as when this kicks in across the country, many will have to retrain themselves to think of it as a limit rather than they drive five miles fast than, and stay well below, or risk getting lots of points.

YANBU I loathe them too. We live near a converted school and so approaching roads to our house are full of them! Going over them to get to hospital whilst in labour was hideous sad

Like that new scheme quote. I wish such measures were unnecessary but PP are right people can't seem to control themselves sad its a bit pathetic really IMO. If speed limit is 30, drive at or below that!
