could have told you that years ago

ALL GATSOS SHOULD BURN

 

pm sl a 5 year study to confirm that fitting a camera dont make a blackspot anymore safe


heres a sugestion, relay out the road to avoid it ebigna blackspot rather than fit a mini tv production company there

as for reducing crashes that confuses me as how can ya know how many crashes theres gonna be

ok 1 year a road as 11 crashes, but then ya stick up a camera and they stop, how is that based on the camera

what about the years before that when there was no crashes

also driver error does not mean its speed related, if i drive at 90mph and then take me eyes off the road to tune the radio or reach for a pack of sweeets and run somone over its not the speed that caused the crash,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, its werthers

 

You know what makes me laugh? the fact that the government have paid for themselves to look like a bunch of idiots by funding the investigation

 

the figers have been there for years showing that, deathes directly related to speeding have not changed but the amount of fines issused for speeding has gone up and up.
it dont take a genius to realise the cameras aint helping, but u also dont have to be a genius to see that its easy money.
and thats all they care about!

 

errrr, this is from the sun, sorry for being slightly dubious about the article

I can't see any link to any tangible information or report in the article, I do believe that cameras can technically reduce accidents, but only if located in the right place and obvious for people to notice.

I don't support the use of cameras where there is no clear benefit in terms of road safety.

 

how original!
