Police quell speed cameras anger
Motorists are being encouraged to attend a special talk on speed cameras
aimed at dispelling the myth that they are merely "revenue raisers".
Road user organisations - especially those who disagree with the use of the
devices - have also been invited to the seminar in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
The charity Brake and the Association for British Drivers will also be at
the meeting set up by Thames Valley Police.
Speed cameras save 100 lives a year, according to a recent government study.
Driver psychology
The speed enforcement and casualty reduction seminar, the first of its kind
in the Thames Valley, has been organised to encourage debate about the
controversial issue.
Along with senior police officers, the delegates will include
representatives from the RAC, the British Motorcycling Federation, Right to
Ride and Thames Valley Police collision investigation unit.
Professor Frank McKenna, from the University of Reading's psychology
department, will also deliver a presentation on driver psychology and
behaviour.
The accident rates on roads with cameras shows a 40% cut in the numbers of
people killed and seriously injured, government research claims.
The meeting is being held at Drayton Golf Club on Thursday.
