I gave a really good quote to the Scotland on Sunday but now can't see it !
It is disgraceful and will DAMAGE road safety. Anyone who thinks that this is good for road safety fails to understand what road safety is about, nor do they understand that they have been misguided by sales people where profits matter than road safety.
Police on the roads have been proven to be far better for road safety than average cameras by 13% (
http://www.safespeed.org.uk/trl595.html) and average cameras worse by 27%.
Still why use the best, when others can profit !
Do they not care or see the dangers of these systems ? ( the zombie like drivers. mentally fatigued etc.)
They were to dual the entire 200miles of road. Why do that I guess, when you can just stick up cameras and profit from it !????
Disgusted as it makes it FAR MORE DANGEROUS.
I wonder how they will feel when they try to drive 200 miles and not once go over an average of 60mph! I can see false number plates rising fast.
People will deliberately use the lower quality & FAR LESS safe roads, to avoid the potential penalties, making road safety worse!
There is NO alternative to the A9 unless you go all the way around the West coast! [edited]
