Depends what you mean by effective. Over here, there are still traffic cops on the streets. Which is probably a good thing, when the alternative could be the UK's current position where there's hardly a road left that hasn't got a speed - opps, my bad - a safety camera every 200 metres. They also have other nice gimmicks, like automatic number plate recognition systems so if you were to drive your cage or ride your bike and the Rego was out by a day, the ticket would be in the post.
Still, as the UK's road safety priority is all about speeding - because speeding causes the highest proportion of road accidents, global warming, cancer and single mothers - it would explain why the road toll their ain't going down either. Concentrate on speeding, and you can make lots of revenue from fines, whilst cutting back on real coppers to do real policing. Just let the cameras do the work.
No no no. "Up the apples" and "she had luvverly thru'pennies". And anyone who says different's a merchant.
