Surely the issue here is the speed limit as the camera is only there to catch and fine the drivers that ignore the speed limit.
27 years ago, when I was 18, I could travel between where I lived, in Dorset, and another town, in 10 minutes, almost legally.
There are no cameras on this route today but where the road passes through small villages and groups of houses, and specifically a bridge where a driver was killed, lower speed limits have been introduced. The same journey now takes double the time. I assume the distance between the two points has not changed, my LR Discovery does not accelerate at the same rate as my old Vauxhall 2 litre that I used to drive, but I'm quite happy to stick to the speed limit.
Forget the camera argument, they are only there to take your money if you break the speed limit, the one that is quite clearly on the signs.
