My problem with these databases is that they are just lists of locations
and - usually - with a reasonable level of awareness and observation you
can pick off most (s)cameras and quickly adjust your progress to a
suitable rate - if you can't then you were driving too damn fast for what
you can see anyway. (And before you think I'm being all "holier than
thou"
on this I'm honestly not - all the points I've had in my past were well
deserved and are now all gone however if I ever do get my "weekend
toy"
there'll be a Road Angel going into it.)
It's just far to easy to get lulled into a false sense of security that
just because the satnav hasn't bonged then you're OK (or similarly you get
so used to it going off that you start ignoring it).
