But at least the damn things only take photos if you _are_ speeding. Be grateful for our toll-free roads. On the French autoroutes, they can issue you with a speeding ticket if you get from one toll booth to the next too quickly, which means they must routinely register which vehicles go through and when.
That is more worrying.
I guess not owning or travelling all that often by car protects me from most of this, but I'm sure station platforms have plenty of surveillance cameras in operation, not to mention the tube.
