Default Road speed cameras

Is there any evidence that these cameras reduce injuries or deaths?
They don't have them in Germany and accidents there are decreasing at more
than the rate here.
They have many more of them in Australia and their accidents are going up.
The Aussies regard them as an extra tax on the motorist.

What is the acronym for those road speed cameras they have on the A14 -

not
the flashing Gatso ones, but rather the type that record your number plate
as you approach and then measure the time taken until you pass the next

one?

Are they scheduled for a more wider roll-out within London?

As people can't just 'dip' their speed as they pass them, making them

harder
to 'cheat' that the Gatso type, are they not likely to be favoured by the
police?
