26% of all fatal accidents are speed related
74% of all fatal accidents speed is NOT a factor

And yet they gear their entire policy towards only the 26%


The other 74% of people killed on the road they essentially couldnt care less about as trying to save them doesnt generate huge incomes for them!

Kerching... your absolutely right. If they can even 'show' a 0.1% reduction in anything they can bang on about it.

Over two thirds of accidents are caused by AN Other cause....with the biggest single other cause being driver error - and yet this is not addressed.

I know to err is human, but bugger, driver education is surely the key rather than simple unthinking cameras alone.
