Arrive alive van work from 9 till 5 thats 8 hrs it leaves 16 hrs a day when not only are accidents more likely but no one died during the 16 hrs the roads were not manned by arrive alive vans so to jump up and down singing Brumstroms credits remember this the vans catch speeders speeding they rake in revenue they DONT save lives there is not one shred of proof that any camera saved a life with a hand full of cameras and millions of miles of tarmac all roads are not policed so wake up and see that cameras raise revenue not save lives 90,000 police officers risked killing a person they were all caught speeding only 8% of those police caught red handed were fined as for the public 84% of those caught were fined. a law for police and another for us police now take the camera out of the van and hold it in there hands with no signs no yellow jacket hiding in the hedge with van down a side street I have photos as proof so how is that awarenest its 2 weeks before anyone knows they were speeding and they didnt see police so how could that action save a life.

See from this pic van parked off road on private property the vans camera was unbolted from inside van and used by cop as a hand held contary to home office guidlines he doesnt display warning signs he doesnt wear yellow hivis jacket he is hiding trapping motorists who drive safe but slightly over 30 mph i witnessed him lower camera when a woman pc in marked car sped past him and he waved to her she had no blue lights on and was doing over 40 in a 30 so she escaped prosecution thanks to he uniformed friend. a law for them and another stealth tax for us and to remind you all WE pay their wages and ever increasing council tax demands for more money for police.

) not enough cameras and that what we need is total camera coverage of every inch of road 24/7. Maybe. But the more likely scenario is that the accident would still have happened and we'd have a nice video clip of it if it was a camera van or a nice still of it if it was a fixed camera AND the driver was exceeding the speed limit. We don't know that was the case.
