I regret to see that you are quoting statistics without context or serious analysis and thought, despite Mr Garvin explaining them on the BBC Breakfast News this morning. Your introduction gives a false and clearly biased impression of the road safety situation in Durham. There is no mention of the fact that road crash figures are around one third lower in Durham than the UK average and, as has been mentioned by Mark, the speed cameras were not there in 2001 so the 56% statistic you quote is clearly irrelevant. This is not up to the standards I expect from the BBC.

Excellent point, but it won't get published because of the final sentence.
