Arrive Alive claims credit for 68% reduction in KSI
Discussion
Welsh Daily Post, Wednesday.
North Wales Arrive Alive speed traps reportedly took £6 million in fines from 2002 - 2004.
Accused of boosting government coffers by over £1 million from 2002 - 2004, the Arrive Alive manager claims, " What is relevant is that we have reduced those killed or seriously injured by 68%.
Fatality figures from 1997 to 2004 are:
54,38,47,60,47,44,49,59. Arrive Alive began targeting speed limit offences in late 2000.
Can someone tell me where the 68% reduction is? I realise that using the killed and seriously injured figures can disguise a rise in deaths but this 68% claim seems ludicrous.

Did they use the phrase 'a 68% reduction at camera sites'? The they vcan use regression to the mean as a positive result for themselves and not have to count accidents, which, of course, are random events, at any other locations. If they didn't use the phrase, I bet they meant to, or, alternatively, the media failed to put that phrase in.
It would be interesting to know, wouldn't it.
They just said" we have reduced deaths and serious injuries by 68%"
I have a scan of the article if anyone can put it on here for me.
