Default Road speed cameras

Is there any evidence that these cameras reduce injuries or deaths?


No.

They don't have them in Germany and accidents there are decreasing at more
than the rate here.


They do have cameras in Germany but they are targeted at specific
problem areas, not used as a revenue raising tax as they are 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.


So do I.
