"Perhaps if some of us didn't give them a reason (not only on bikes by the way) then perhaps they wouldn't need an excuse to keep it working.
More than the camera's, I hate speed bumps which are actually dangerous to us. However, I hate even more than the speed bumps the inconsiderate idiots who give the authorities the excuse and the reason to put them there in the first place.
If you have no respect for any of the speed limits, particularly in 30's and 40's, then you only have yourselves to blame for the attitudes that some people hold towards bikers as a group."

Although around where I live the council seems to add speed bumps regardless of whether or not anyone could (let alone does) speed down there.
What I have more of an issue with are the average speed cameras that are appearing everywhere on our motorways at the slightest hint of roadworks (regardless of whether any carriageways or the hard shoulder are closed and regardless of whether anyone is actually working on there at the time) and those ridiculous average speed cameras policing the variable speed limits on the M42. It's almost like a stealth 50mph motorway speed limit is being introduced behind the scenes.
In comparison, an isolated Gatso is pretty easy to spot and of minimal inconvenience.
