The statistics
On average, nine people are killed and 85 injured each day on the UK's roads. Without safety cameras to reduce speeding and make the roads safer, around 100 more people would be killed each year.



I would rather we had more natural selection :)

That's a bold statement. What is the evidence?

LOL, so cameras are idiot spawning sites. That could be a good place to set up a sniper position.

I'm sure you'll all be delighted to discover that I have walked back to the car park and retrieved my sandwiches from the car.

Mrs. V. has also put a packet of crisps in the bag... Walkers Lights FFS! Is she dropping hints? :shock: ;) :P

Would that be the same government that put the cameras in in the first place? After many years of plugging the road safety line and emptying drivers wallets (for their money and licences), they're hardly going to admit they don't work, are they? :roll:

If you're going to talk spin and statistics, here's a few more to think about:
