    I'd tell everyone. Police should fight crime not tax disobedience.

    I'd tell them.

    Speed cameras are nothing more than a money making scheme for the police, and deserve to be treated as such.

    I'd tell everyone. That help achieve the nominal goal of the speed check, wouldn't it, that more people adhere to the speed limit?

    Since I got a 50 euro fine once for driving 6 km/hour (that's about 4 miles) too fast on an empty highway at night (and yes, I was sober, I never drink when I still have to drive the same day/night), I would tell everybody.

    I wouldn't tell anybody.

    Everybody knows how fast you are allowed to drive and everybody knows that going faster can have consequences.

    Wouldn´t tell anyone....

    telling people would hinder the police from doing their job effectively....why would I want to do that?

    Since I found out that there are people who actually drive at something like 150 km/h on roads with around 50-90 in speed limit, I'd hesitate about telling everyone. I'd stick to telling those I'm sure would never exceed the limit by more than a few km/h, but if they're all strangers and I don't know that, I wouldn't tell anyone. Usually these fast-going guys are the same guys who sometimes try to run you over at a zebra-crossing, only so they can drive 5 meters more and end up in the queue behind the next red traffic light

    Speed limits are arbitrary (the motorway speed limit here has been 70 mph since the 60s. How much have car brakes improved during that time?), and, as others have mentioned, speeding comes a very poor second to plain careless driving in terms of accidents caused. So I would tell everyone.

    Tell everyone... on days that they aren't patroling.
