The first of those links was a speed camera at the side of the road.

Why should speed camera locations be advertised from miles off? Global compliance isn't aided by saying "We only check here".

The second is to do with speed cameras being operational at night - when arguably you should be doing less than the speed limit anyway since your visibility is reduced.

The problem is not with the police catching people speeding, it's with the courts not enforcing bans:

Easy solution to not getting banned. STOP SPEEDING.

I'd rather went for a "one week ban on first offence", then 2,4,8... system.

It might make people think a bit about their speed. Combined with a 10% of monthly income fine... and you might be motivated to stay within the posted limits (they're limits, not targets)
