All common complaints toward speed cameras and roadworks aside, you can completely understand Jeremy's distaste for them. In 1994 (just before speed cameras were common place), he had to drive as fast as he could from London to Sheffield to say goodbye to his father before he died. Imagine trying to do something like that now. There's a large likelihood that you wouldn't make it.

My dad got a ticket for speeding when my mum went into labour with me for doing 40ish on a few 30 limits to get to the hospital (that used to be 40 back a few years prior). Wasn't an easy birth and had he adhered the the speed limit things wouldve gone a lot worse. Bunch of those roads are 20 limits now so if all this brainless speed reduction shit was as harsh as it is now 2 decades ago I or my mum might not have made it.

Every time they had a government representative on the show to talk about speed cameras and speed limits it becomes incredibly obvious they've never watched Top Gear. Jeremy had repeatedly brought up different studies and research statistics that disproved every single thing the government reps say. The government reps in this compilation all say something to the effect of "every study shows that speed cameras reduce accidents" despite constant evidence that accidents either remained constant or went up. Speed cameras exist for one reason and one reason alone, tax revenue. That is reason enough to get rid of them. Anything that is done for the sole purpose of stealing people's hard earned money is government endorsed extortion.

The thing that I'm curious about all of these studies is they say that accident figures remained the same, but it seems like they are talking about raw numbers? IE, that there are 3,200 accidents a year, or 25 fatalities, or whatever, but they never specify if that's normalized for the number of cars on the road. Over ten years you'd expect there to be some changes in how many people are driving, and the numbers are meaningless if you don't take that into account. Now maybe they have done, and Clarkson knows it wouldn't be good TV for him to sit there and go '3,200 accidents per 100,000 drivers' or whatever, because that isn't snappy, but it's hard to know

18:57 - In many cases it is actually illegal for traffic control companies to have signs displayed when no workers are on site . . . at least here in Australia that is the case. But that does depend on the state of the road surface aswell.
I heard a story about a police man pulling over a car and booking the man on his way home from work for not indicating or something really trivial. After he handed the man the ticket her put his work safety inspection gear on and handed the policeman a ticket as he did not book him following the safety regulations for pulling over a vehicle. The policeman got reprimanded and the policeman who worked with him all got to join him for a safety course. Hope it was on their off day😏

As an American, I gotta chastize the boys for being such goody two-shoes on our roads. More often than not, you can get away with going well over the speed limit, and only really have to worry about traffic flow, big cities, and small towns. While some areas do have speed cameras, most of the cameras out there are for simple monitoring for traffic alerts. Don't let the hall monitors scare you. Just pay attention, don't crash, and try not to be an arse. Except in Arkansas. Don't cock around in Arkansas. Although its good to see they found workarounds in later episodes.

Regarding speed cameras, in Australia radar detectors have been illegal for decades but since GPS's have come out, the newer ones have come with standard fixed camera warning & you could add mobile ones by pressing a button, but sometimes the camera had changed position by the time you got the warning. Recently my brother got a new Toyota Rav 4, I'm not sure if they have them in other country's, but the technology in this thing is phenomenal, one of the features is a live GPS unit that reports everything from accidents to speed traps, in real time. I'm sure this technology is available in other vehicles but it was like magic to me & as I was usually a passenger I could update new or old speed traps, accidents & road works & leave him to basically just steer the vehicle.

It is used to warn driver and give them an idea on how fast should they be going. In my experience they are very conservative (likely because of lorry drivers) and you can go around 5 - 10 mph faster than what's listed on their with a decent Sedan.

Listening to Ladyman make excuses makes me wonder if when you decided to become a Politician, is there a school you have to attend where they teach you how to avoid answering questions and how to make up excuses for everything so that the stupid policies you put in place can be seen as effective? The reason I ask is because whenever there's a Politician on TV being interviewed they do everything they can to avoid answering the questions they have no answer for that people will accept.

I have to say, living in remote areas around Australia and seeing a constant and systematic reduction in speed limits, significantly increases many people's travel times. Due to the long distances people have to travel, it causes fatigue and is consequently dangerous for everyone on the road. Although, that being said, the speed limit was reduced outside my house from 80 to 60km/hr and we don't have any more accidents with people pulling out onto the road on blind corners.
Bro, they're complaining about a 80mph limit meanwhile the highest speed limit here is 110Km/h, which is like 68mph(and as a bonus if you get caught 50% over the speed limit you automatically lose your driving license for 1 year). For gods sake I need to move country

Hahaha seeing this makes me very thankful of the condition in my country Indonesia. There are speed limits yes, ranging in 80-110 kmh. But no speed cameras, those speed signs act more of as a 'guideline'. Even the cops won't chase you down if you're doing 140ish, just dont do anything foolish in their presence. Speed is good, no speed limit kinda makes it.. 'safer'

Good timing, they’re lowering my local speed limits again. Some of these roads might end up being 25mph, absolutely insane

There are no driving conditions that justify a 25 mph speed limit where you can't drive safely at 40. Change my mind.

Clarkson hates bikes but approves that they dont have numberplates on the front of them.
I was just on a Thai motorway today and the sign on the far right side of the left side of the 6 lane road said “minimum speed 100 kilometers per hour” and “maximum speed 120 kilometers per hour” the cars on the road were going 80 kilometers per hour.
i love how they slowed down at the blue ridge parkway, believe me, no one even notices those signs are actually there. but a lot of that is because you have a ciff right next to you, but we still go way faster
51:15 mins in, Clarkson showed up the MP big time hahahahahaha
Over 1 hour long.... i’m alteady laughing at just that
I wish more people are willing to preach the fact that driving carefully>driving slowly. Jeremy is right saying when you have to maintain those ridiculously low limits you have to stare at the speedometer, and that is way more dangerous than driving 60 over the limit but paying 200% focus on the road
Here in Saudi Arabia they have upped the speed limit on intercity highways from 120 to 140 (Kmph). BUT, even with that, there is a concession of 10%. So basically you are good for 132kmph on a 120 Limit etc. The cameras are hidden, painted to match the background and are moved around every few days or so so you can never be sure of where they are. Sometimes its just a small tripod with a camera on it which is damn near impossible to see even after its flash goes off. Peraonally, I think the cameras here is a good thing because they have slightly tempered the entusiatic driving style of the locals. They dont fear death and drive +250kmph on the shoulder, tailgating and bullying other road users.

The speed limits complaint in America is pretty spot on…especially here on Hawaii

Hawaii is weird. They claim to have interstate highways, despite being islands. Also the only highways with a speed limit of 35, which sounds less like a highway and more like a suburban street.
Love Jeremy Clarkson's face when the train guy say there is an speed camera. Face expression was like "what the f.. you got to be kidding me"
Roadworks that took several years on the M1 near Dunstable have average speed cameras, rumor has it the cameras made more money than the roadworks cost and it was suggested to leave them collecting longer.
“Punch him in the face!” Lol love it
