Speed cameras 'aren't working', says leasing company 

Huge numbers of drivers are avoiding speeding penalties through by slowing down for cameras and speeding up again once they are out of range, says a car leasing company.
"Over 50,000 drivers receive a court summons every year for speeding," said Flexed.co.uk 's Mark Hall, "but for every conviction, there's scores who escape the law."
Flexed.co.uk spoke to almost 3,000 drivers about their driving habits, and found that many used simple tricks to avoid detection.
They included: slowing down when approaching a known a speed camera site, then speeding up again – a trick used by 80% of all drivers; using a sat nav that features fixed speed camera sites – 15%; and illegal coatings on number plates to avoid being photographed – 1%.
A survey earlier this year revealed that more than two-thirds of drivers admitted to habitual speeding, particularly on their way to work when roads are at their busiest.
"It just goes to show that drivers think they can avoid speeding fines if they're smart enough," said Hall, "But speeding's not smart – it kills."
