On-line poll - Do you think that the Government's speed camera policy is justified by a fall in casualties?

8% Yes - there is a link between cameras and a reduction in casualties
92% No - cameras are primarily a revenue generating tool

The Times certainly seem to recognise that the debate about speeding is worthy of some webspace....

Nice to see links on there to both SafeSpeed and the ABD...

Hmm, I'm not a fan of opinion polls unless conducted with the utmost care and impartiality.

I also think the question is a false dilemma: it is possible that cameras are there with the intention to increase safety, but they're just not working.

Interesting results, but the poll question is appalling - possibly worse than the official safety camera partnership surveys!

I would have expected the poor wording to encourage more to support the YES response
