Gentlemen

My home city of Worcester has now been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century, and we are now getting speed cameras, I'm actually opposed to these dam things generally, but a freind suggested I look at safespeed.org.uk

I'm not sure whos telling the truth, but I wouldnt mind betting it isnt grinning gits mob

Some of the facts and figures quoted by camera partnerships are just plain untrue, the one being banded around Worcester at the moment is that a third of all accidents are speed related, when the actual government department says it is less than 5%, and that includes everything, police chases, thefts, even suicides.

That means that 95% of accidents have nothing at all to do with speed.

I'm not sure what we or anyone else can do about this, but I'd be interested to see what the rest of you think.

There is a very very interesting letter compiled by some traffic policemen on there too
