Probably less than the cost of one fatal head on accident by idiots who
would take a chance in the absence of cameras.

which *is* what he wrote. (sorry for the crap grammar)

I agree it's confusing, but that's how it works.

It's funny but where I work the company car drivers, that we all
knew had been driving like pratts for years (as the insurance
claims showed), are the same people that seem to be picking up the
points from the cameras.

Perhaps it's also because they're the people who do the most
miles...?

Flawed logic.

Oh, I dunno...

Driver A does 5,000 miles per year, and gets one speeding ticket every
three years.

Driver B does 50,000 miles per year, and gets one speeding ticket per year.

Who gets nicked with greater frequency?

Driver A does 5,000 miles per year, and gets one speeding ticket

Driver B does 50,000 miles per year, and gets one speeding ticket per
year.

Not that simple.

Oh, OK. In that case, we'll ignore all references to the high mileage you
do, because it's not that simple.

You have to consider the kind of driving they do, I suppose. Someone
doing all their mileage on urban roads is going to pass a lot more
cameras than someone doing the same mileage on motorways. Same for
accident statistics, in fact I wonder how the per mile accident rate for
trucks looks if you correct for the proportion of miles driven on
inherently very low risk roads.

It isn't that simple. According to your rules, I should have points.

Someone doing 50k on the same routes will know where the cameras are.
They could also be a better driver and be more observant.

Too many variables.

Units of frequency (Hz) are 1/seconds, so driver B, with
about (errm) 0.3e-7 ticket/s, as opposed to 0.1e-7 ticket/s
for driver A.

Except that in this instance "units of frequency" are miles per hour.

You do realise that having admitted to driving an old car, Doug will now
be looking up (making up) figures to show that you car is dirtier than a
new one therefore you are polluting more.
