As Lee said, got the summer policemans ball to fund, then crimbo bash!!
Its
TOO hard to catch
REAL criminals, thats why they go for the soft touches, motorists!! God, think about it, its passing revenue for them, they only have to stand still and the motorist
COMES TO THEM!!!! 
I know it's all too easy to say that, but in actual fact it doesn't go to the Police.
Neither the police nor local councils make any money from speeding fines. They can only claim back their running and administration costs for the scheme, any surplus goes to the Treasury i.e. The Government!!
I could only find figures for the 2003/04 financial year that ended on 31 March 2004. The total fine receipts for speeding and red light offences detected by fixed and mobile cameras was £113,549,240.
Of this amount, £91,848,844 was reinvested in road safety as payments back to the partnerships including the police, local highway authorities and magistrates' courts who operate within the safety camera programme. The amount retained by the Treasury was £21,700,396 which is the difference.
The simple answer is, don't speed!! Without sounding harsh, would you all still be banging on about how people who speed are not "real criminals" if they knocked your child/mother/father/brother/sister/husband/wife etc over and killed them??? These laws are there for a reason. Unfortunately, there is nothing you or I can do about it.
You break a law, you pay the price - your choice!
its impossible to drive with no tax or insurance in this day & age! i don`t know why people still do it?
all day and most of the night is a bit mad.
