Must try harder, how disappointing that the investment has produced the return expected.

"The Chief Constable’s draft statement of accounts said: “The recharges made for speed awareness courses were responsible for the greatest single underachievement of income. The recharges generated £2.1 million less income than was forecast."
But of course, camera vans are nothing to do with revenue generation.

k do they think they're kidding? "North Yorkshire Police does not receive any income from speeding penalties - the full amount goes to the Treasury - but if a driver takes a speed awareness course as an alternative to a fine and points on their licence, the force receives some income from the cost of the course."
North Yorkshire police generates income of £45 for every person who attends a course. It used to be £35.
North Yorkshire does not have fixed speed cameras so almost all revenue is derived by deploying gimps in vans.
Nationally, more than a million people do one of three available speed awareness courses each year. NSAC20 / NSAC / Motorway SAC.
The eligibility threshold has increased - e.g. drive at 86/70 and you can still do a course. The number of courses has increased - from 1 to 3. In North Yorkshire, the number of vans has doubled. It's a dishonest industry and the pretext of road safety evaporated a long time ago.
No doubt, a retired traffic police / BRAKE enthusiast will be along soon to educate us that speed kills, fatal 4, etc, etc.

Bang on the money sir, sure it won't be long before safety as the objective will be replaced by something like emission reduction (and when they fail to demonstrate any improvement against that measure they'll doubtless think of something else to justify the existence of the ever increasing mobile camera fleet).North Yorkshire police generates income of £45 for every person who attends a course.

Surely this is a good thing? Less motorists speeding means the cameras are working up there.
No bad it is less income than they wanted...... At least the didn't bother trying to hide the real basis of them in the accounts, but when called out the PR machine kicks in...XDA said:

Quite. Forecasting revenue from crime...But of course, camera vans are nothing to do with revenue generation.

Couldn't agree more, as this article proves it's just another income stream for the police and the treasury. As for the speed kills safety mobs if they had a brain between them I'd be surprised.North Yorkshire police generates income of £45 for every person who attends a course. It used to be £35.

Do you know AGTLaw's profession?Back O/T - maybe just make speeding a price "thing" - use tags like on the French toll roads and have a suitable sum debited if you're over 10% of the limit, accidents non-withstanding. Then you'll be able to see someone's status from the speed they drive.
