Just come across this

According to the site: said:


"On average, nine people are killed and 85 injured each day on the UK's roads. However, this figure would probably be higher if safety cameras were not used. By reducing speeding and making the roads safer, they save about 100 lives a year."


What drivel!

100 out of 3200. 3%. Down in the noise. Unprovable. Meanwhile, millions of otherwise-honest people are criminalised and thousands of others are dehumanised by working for Partnerships. How did we get here?

This sort of drivel does nothing but invoke anger and nausea.

But it says Probably be higher. Therefore, it agrees that Speed Cameras DO NOT FOR CERTAIN save lives........ Good of them to admit it...

Do you think that the majority of people educated within the last 30 years understand the difference? I'd be surprised if those who wrote the text know the difference - Streaky
