And 70 lives over a year is hardly worth counting, unless you are one of the 70 of course :P |
Yeah right, how the hell did they know those 70 people were dead in the first place. But technically speaking they were'nt saved as they couldn't of been in danger in the first place .......or they'd be dead.
Confused......You will be! |
I think they look at the accident rate per year before and after the cameras went in. so the drop reflects the number lives saved.
tbh I dont have a problem with speed cameras that are properly located in accident blackspots if they achieve the reduction in casualties. i do when youre in the middle of nowhere on long straights on the a15[?? couldve been 16 was a bit lost
] and they put them in.
