I do drive, I've been driving for 22 years.

Do yourself a favour, Google confirmation bias and why personal experiences don't make good evidence.
Interesting. Do Brake not quote their experiences........

It could indeed highlight a problem with 21 out of the 551 sites, but given the random nature of accidents i'd be interested to know how many additional crashes took place at these sites to account for the increase.

The overall view of the report though is that on average fatalites and serious collisions fell by 22% at the 551 sites looked at.
Random nature? Surely you mean "caused by exceeding the speed limit"?

Fatalities are falling on the roads due to vehicular safety improvements. Not because of the Scameras.
