Xt500 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 You said the footage was "lost". It isn't lost at all, the link's above your post. You claimed the footage showed a camera causing crashes. It doesn't, it shows the kind of numpty drivers who are unable to control their vehicle that you defend. Do you seriously think you could crash your car on your driving test and blame a speed camera? :loopy: No! I didnt say the footage was lost... "Speed camera bosses claim to have lost video footage said to show that cameras cause crashes. " You like to twists posts dont you? You need to get up a bit earlier with this one! You didnt comment on why your user account was set up? Wasnt to specifically spout your cut and paste crap was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DfT’s National Safety Camera Programme Four-Year Evaluation Report said deaths had fallen by 100 at camera sites but did not conclude cameras had caused the reduction. Well that's from the DfT. Obviously safety groups just putting their own spin on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puddinburner Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Was thinking though? Switch camera's off to save costs? Cut down emergency services staffing? Cut back on council staffing to save costs? More accidents? Reciepe for chaos? Surely? Child knocked over and killed due to someone doing 35 instead of 30? Could be left hours before any emergency service arrives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aelfheah Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 What's the update? Have they done this yet, there were rumours ages ago that such cameras were going to be scrapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Ralge Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 What's the update? Have they done this yet, there were rumours ages ago that such cameras were going to be scrapped? The update is that Oxford's cameras are being switched back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
