Let\'s Do Some Calculations

I had the misfortune to have to go through the roadworks by J13 on the M25 today. Anyway at the start they have a display up which has the dubious honour of advetising how many people have been caught speeding through the roadworks.Anyway this morning at 7am it was 7,500.

So at say £50 per offence (for ease of calculation) that makes £37,500 in fines and that's after 1 month!!!. So the roadworks will be there for 2 years (?) or 24 months. That equals £900,000 in fines!!!!

And they say cameras are not there to genrate revenue!!!!

These are only estimated figures so please correct me if I'm wrong.
