How can we stop the camera catching us? Scroll down to the bottom.
The decision was made by Somerset County Council on Monday 17th February to transfer ownership of the safety cameras to the police.
Last June, the chief constable Nick Gargan commissioned a review of the constabulary’s policy towards speed cameras and opened up new conversations with Somerset County Council to consider if fixed safety cameras could be reintroduced.
The chief constable and the council have now agreed the police will take responsibility and ownership of the cameras and operate them on the highway network on the proviso that no costs whatsoever are incurred by the county council.
Somerset County Council’s cabinet member with responsibility for highways, Cllr Harvey Siggs, said, “We will continue to work closely with the police to improve highway safety and reduce traffic speeds at known road casualty sites. The police have agreed to take full responsibility for the cost and maintenance of the fixed safety cameras and will enforce all speeding offences, and we support them in their decision.”
FIXED safety cameras will soon be switched back on in Somerset after Somerset County Council agreed to sell the cameras to Avon & Somerset Constabulary for £1 each.

The best way I have found for not letting the speed camera catch me is by driving at or under the recognised speed limit. You find that those following are well pleased that they too were not caught out either. You will be surprised how many followers you have if you stick to speed limits. LOL
