Camera cost
All Allan needs to do is to look at how little the road casualty figures
have gone down over the course of a decade during which the primary safety
- crash survivability - of cars has rocketed.
Hit the back of a combine harvester or a hay truck at thirty and let's
see what your crash survivability does for you.
It doesn't make a tosh of difference what they do to cars when they
still have to share the same road with monster HGVs. Hit one of those
head on and there's always only going to be one winner.
Changing nothing else would have seen casualty figures falling drastically,
ergo the stasis must be due to a negative effect from the other changes.
I'm sorry but that's complete ********.
By far, most stretches of road still do not have speed cameras so have
been unaffected.
On the roads where they have been introduced reportable accident have
declined by between 41% and 69%.
Overall (Nationally) the level of traffic accidents has declined
slightly (not much) but this has to be set in context of year on year
traffic growth which should (normally) have led to more accidents.
