RE: MCI on Speed Cameras

[tonyout]

How can they say there is a 35% reduction in KSI when deaths are up???

It does look like they are slowly losing the war though, I don't think all the PR in the world is going to save them this time.

Liars one and all!

A shame that restoring TrafPol numbers comes in at number 8. It should be THE no 1 priority.

Are the points in any sort of order? If so, then I agree it should at number 1.

Oh yeah, accidents at cam spots are being cut by 35%. 33% of accidents are caused by excess speed (according to SCPs) and these are the only accidents a scamera could possibly prevent. Even taking into account that the speed cameras are supposedly placed where there are most likely to be excess speed accidents, the cameras are amazing and have wiped out the vast majority of excess speed accidents where they've been placed. How come they still catch so many people then?

I acutally surprised they even got back to me! God the language I used. I did however notice that they seem to be spouting the same old accident stats codswallop!
I'm emailing the DFT next see what they say.
