The B4114 Sharnford - is a road where it is very open, good surface and i personally drive it most days... this camera is a pure revenue generator

The only accidents on that road are always on the same junction, but will they put lights on the junction will the fcuk they will put a scamera on the fastest section of the road several miles from that junction to earn revenue, because the junction in question it is almost impossible to speed and the accidents are down to bad road layout.

I also have the rest of their figures for leicestershire, let me know if you want me to post them.

This is an interesting way of doing things!

If a full bus driven by a drunk smashes into a bridge that would skew the figures so highly that an incident free road would become a black spot. I know these figures are done on a year by year basis but the goons in charge are...........goons in charge!

I also notice they only show you one years worth, not the previous year and last year 2002 for comparison.

I think I may well be writing to the goons for more detailed info.

Notice also it says "personal injury collisions" - does this mean the ambulance chasing firms have an input?

Could be read as "collisions in which someone has scammed the system, as they always do when they are so much as tapped on the rear of their car at 5mph, then jump out, roll on the floor in agony screaming "whiplash whiplash" whilst all along seeing the £ signs roll infront of their eyes"

will crash

The RTA stats should only be used to site a camera when the stats point to RTAs where speed is the major factor.....those are the guidelines we use in the smoke...
