Norfol/Suffolk speed camera claims
Discussion
BBC local news just had a feature, keypoint of which are:
4 mobile vans on A11 in Norfolk... serious injuries fallen by 64% at camera sites in 1 year.
Haughly bends on A14 Suffolk - accidents halved since cameras introduced 3 years ago.
Then Tame Plod came on and got the 'speeding as socially unacceptable as drink driving' bit in. However, he said 'We often see casualty reductions at camera sites' - meaning that at many sites they don't!

More selective reporting of stats!
Paul Smith provides an excellent template letter to challenge these dubious claims.
every time they put out statistics for the A140 they quote a time frame of 21 years (i'm sure it was 20 years last year) i thought they were supposed to use 5 years to justify their actions? anyone khow what happened that long ago.
A11 accidents down - nothing to do with the nice new duel carrigeway then.
Haughly bends - cross roads over main trunk road with blind off camber bend just before - that'll be why they still have road blocking accidebts there then!
suffolk road safety makes me fume!!
