Article: Angry drivers torching traffic cameras in England

Apparently, the Luddite tradition of machine breaking is alive and well in its country of origin. According to a report, a group calling itself MAD -- or Motorists Against Detection -- have taken to setting autonomous traffic cameras ablaze across the United Kingdom, and are detailing their exploits on a website (of course).
You'd think an ecodriver would be safe from the speed cameras. But I have to admit I've been above the limit during both a pulse and a glide.

In fact, the fastest I've driven a car in the past 5 years was during a long glide in the B.C. Rockies

And let's not get into the issue of traffic lights changing from green to amber...
