| Speed Cameras
I am convinced that the emplacement of so many speed cameras does not add to road safety one iota.
There is a valid argument for controlling speed in busy dangerous built up areas. This has always been the case and obviously always will be.
The business of the so called "Camera partnership" is to site cameras regardless of their efficacy in preventing deaths.
There is a move afoot to lower speed limits even further on our country roads.
These limits are already lower than they were in the 1950's when tyres and brakes were much less efficient.
What would add to road safety is more driver training and safer road surfaces. |
