So in 3 months its earned £1260? Hardly cost effective is it, but then this will be used to prove they arent in it for the money. Whats the betting they'll turn the threshold level down sometime soon?

I assume this news is generated from a press release released by the Scameraship.

No mention of the accident rate dropping...

This is why SPECS are so rarely seen on the roads (outside special applications like M'way roadworks). They're SO expensive to install, the Scammers will never make any money out of them, and will prefer to invest in more lucrative mobile vans instead.

Have you seen how SPECS causes bunching? Bloody dangerous. Apparently KSI of roadworkers goes UP when SPECS is installed.

Police rep on radio this morning said there were 3 deaths last year, only 1 this year. He admitted that, while this looked better, it was far too early to draw a conclusion that this was a representative trend...
