Given the ongoing improvements to vehicle safety, road engineering and casualty treatment, which have resulted in significant safety benefits, all you have achieved is to make the situation worse. It would seem that like parasites on the community you have kept yourselves in well paid jobs at the expense of perfectly safe motorists going about their lawful business with no benefit to the community.
The survey by the Kent and Medway police shows that people;
• disagree that speed cameras reduce accidents
• disagree that dangerous drivers are now more likely to get caught
• agree that speed cameras are an easy way of making money out of motorists
• disagree that speed cameras are meant to encourage drivers to keep to the limits, not to punish them
• disagree that the primary aim of safety cameras is to save lives
• disagree that the use of safety cameras should be supported as a method of reducing casualties and
• agree that there are too many cameras in their local area
Like most people I fully agree with all those views.
It is quite apparent that your propaganda claims about the benefits of and support for speed cameras cannot be upheld. It is time that you and the government acknowledged this, disbanded your “Safety Camera Partnership”. Then you could do something else that is of use and benefit to the community you are supposed to be serving.
Camera operator knows that he only keeps his job with the money from perfectly safe drivers of no danger to anyone. He has very little effect on the dangerous and unsafe drivers from his camera van.
