If you look he

you'll see that whilst the amount of drivers caught by speed cameras appears
to be going up exponentially the amount of deaths on the road have remained
constant, so I suppose the answer is no, there is no evidence that cameras
reduce injuries or deaths.

They don't have them in Germany and accidents there are decreasing at more
than the rate here.
They have many more of them in Australia and their accidents are going up.
The Aussies regard them as an extra tax on the motorist.

What is the acronym for those road speed cameras they have on the A14 -
not
the flashing Gatso ones, but rather the type that record your number
plate
as you approach and then measure the time taken until you pass the next
one?

Are they scheduled for a more wider roll-out within London?

As people can't just 'dip' their speed as they pass them, making them
harder
to 'cheat' that the Gatso type, are they not likely to be favoured by
the
police?
