Hi Mods

I am interested to know why this thread was removed?

http://pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&amp...

It provided a a link to some interesting research into speed cameras etc and the Author was inviting questions. The publication of the report initiated a good thread about speed cameras, and I cannot see why access to the original report would be detrimental.

The speed camera debate on ph is often fueled by anecdote and passion, someone who has looked at and analysed the actual data should be welcomed.

Sorry but I can't see that any threads have been removed in relation to your question.

Any ideas as to what forums it was posted in?

Unfortuanely I cannot recall which forum etc. I was hoping the number in the link may help. It was opened by Dave Finney.

Probably in general gassing. It was called Speedcamerareport.co.uk

Maybe the email address in the title was the problem?

The link you supplied is http://speedcamerareport.co.uk/ that does not get me to a PH thread.

If you're saying that the thread was titled Speedcamerareport.co.uk that may have been one of the reasons why is was deleted as you cannot access the thread you just keep getting redirected to the site.

Hi Everyone,
I have been informed of your very active discussion sparked by my latest report on the speed cameras in Thames Valley so if anyone has any questions, comments or constructive citicisms for me about the evidence I presented, please ask.

Please do read the report before posting, which has 3 pages:
Brief overview: http://speedcamerareport.co.uk/07_5pc_per_1mph.htm
The report: http://speedcamerareport.co.uk/07_5pc_per_1mph_rep...
The references etc: http://speedcamerareport.co.uk/07_5pc_per_1mph_ref...

My focus is on the evidence of the effect that speed cameras have on road safety, rather than any other aspect of their use, so comments on the evidence (this report, other reports of mine or any other report) are those I am best able to consider and answer.

Have the 2 threads been "merged" using the new powers?, so one thread shows as deleted but teh posts are actually in the other one?.
