Both the reading and the listening discuss the same topic that is the speeding management by speed cameras. But, their perspective is totally different. While the reading gives some main benefits of speed cameras, the listening casts doubt on what the passage states.

Firstly, the writer shows that controlling behavior’s drivers by speed cameras forces them to drive under the speed limit. However, the lecture opposes that such devices can not guarantee the conformity of drivers with speed rules. If they are free from the management, they will drive at the speed they like. Just seeing the appearance of a police or cameras, they immediately turn to reduce speed. Furthermore, recognizing the existence of such machines, they suddenly slow down that easily create a collision between that car and others behind it.

Next, in the passage, speed cameras help police decrease the amount of his tasks to focus on other ones. On the other hand, according to the lecture, police can not be replaced by cameras. Besides, fining the drivers who speed up to the speed limit, a police also manages other activities like the acting of drivers who are using drugs, alcohol, guns... These jobs are complex, it is necessary to assign them to a real police. It means that a police is responsible for more important missions than monitoring speed.

Finally, the reading claims that pictures taken by speed cameras are a kind of irrefutable evidence about the violation of driver in court. With regard to this argument, the listening refutes it. It says that speed cameras just are kinds of machine. It is possible for it to be out of order or make mistakes. In such a circumstance, the defendant may suffer an absolutely wrong conviction due to the camera’s failure.
