People who get caught on speed cameras

Trampas · 2006-09-19 21:15:20

I was driving on the N4 and a person got done by the camera across from the spa hotel. Why do people slow dow well below the speed limit. Do they think they might get off if they do it

Fear and ignorance!
Fear of being caught and ignorance because they don't know the limit.

Primal action! Unless you are constantly watching your speed, your first reaction is to slam on the brakes and then see what speed you are actually doing. Wouldn't work so well the other way about.
