Absolutely, speed may be a factor in loss of control and I'm sure that they'll have accounted for this in the "excessive speed" stats, but the point I was making (and which andyb seems unable to grasp) is that the government's own figures do not back up the assertion that they make regarding speeding when it comes to the implementation of speeding controls vis a vis cameras.
