I ask because my wife has just got back from shopping, to tell me that there has been yet another accident (fire engine, ambulance, police there) on the A48, Gloucester to Chepstow right by the speed camera, again! Now, this is the fourth serious accident by the three sets of cameras on this road in a year! If this is the 'norm' (the road isn't too bad at all, and visibility is fine all along the road), surely it would confirm that speed cameras are having an adverse effect on road safety, it cannot be coincidence, can it?

I am now convinced that these speed cameras are dangerous to the point of causing accidents (and worse!), not reducing them. I have come to this conclusion by not reading any biased reporting/statistics from both pro and anti groups, but simply seeing for myself what effect these things are having on the roads
It is indeed an utter disgrace
