in addition to my above post, I think that in-car cameras are the future.
Take policing into your own hands, ensure you save the dangerous displays around you and email the video to the police, every single time (obviously not when you're speeding, self incriminating is NOT cool)

NO, being a f*ckwit is, drive within your limitations and you can go everywhere at a consistently high speed in relative safety.

lol, just lol. avoiding the event, rather than punishing someone after the fact is preferable surely?
Of coure it is but it doesnt mean nothing should be done about it if it does happen.

Near sure it isn't even a quarter in the UK as a whole. It's just the easiest thing to detect and report on so the civil servant in charge gets their bonus.
I agree. I have a camera fitted.
How about pouring the money into better training and more policing
Not relying on algorithms from a black box
People do nothing but complain about the police on our roads when they do try and enforce laws.

well now you'd have one sitting in the passenger seat watching EVERYTHING you do. I fail to see how thats better?
As a fairly confident driver, my only issue with the police on the roads is what they do not do when blatant acts of bad driving are going on around them.
If i get caught where there is a camera or hairdryer (general in a 30) then i friggin deserve it. The black box now stops every ounce of fun driving, you know, the stuff we do for enjoyment, the quick run over the hills when it is quiet on the way home. The sunday runs with friends. The quick over take so you can sit comfortably at 60 instead of 52. All of that will be a thing of the past - none of it is dangerous.
Ok, if you literally had a cop in your car watching wat happened and you had a non fault accident would you not think it would help having him there to see the true story of wat happened?
I had my rb5 wrote off two years ago by a 86 yr old that pulled across the dual carriageway on me, it was all straight forward and he admitted it was his fault straight away but if he had have said I was doin 100mph and driving like a fool a black box would have proved I was doing the correct speed.

There's always a scenario to justify oppressive measures.
Why not argue for CCTV in every home to prosecute those guilty of domestic violence and child abuse?

drop speedlimts to 20mph everywhere. that will hugely reduce road deaths.
It all depends where you want to stop really.
Correct.

captain anticraic lol
captain anticraic lolYup, and at the same time his black box would have proven he wasn't driving like a d*ck.
Right back to he said she said bullsh*t
As I said above, speed and location have no baring on how safe your driving it.

cant be bothered reading all posts, but here is the fact, if you opt out it is up to the insurance company to prove you are liable, whereas if you have the box they will manipulate the evidence. If everyone pleaded invasion of human rights it will be shelved in 6 months. My closing thought is, you are only insured until you claim, dont make the wriggle factor get any easier for the fat cats
Its not a case of 'If you are obeying the law you should have nothing to worry about then' but if you are not breaking any law, then the government have no right whatsoever in your business. If you aren't suspected of breaking the law then you are allowed to travel around freely about your business without being hassled, watched or spied upon.
To make the roads safer you could put all cars on railway tracks so everyone has to do what the puppet master commands but as Thomas Jefferson said "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery"
