Speed cameras kill

Thanks to alec muffett this little gem has been brought to my attention statistically showing that speed cameras increase risks on the roads, the report that it is based on as been buried by the government so you have to pay to see it (having already paid for it's creation through taxes).

* Where fixed speed cameras were installed at road works the risk of personal injury crashes was increased by 55%.

* Where fixed speed cameras were installed on open motorways the risk of injury crashes was increased by 31%.

* Average speed cameras also increased the risk of crashes by 4.5% at roadworks and 6.7% elsewhere.

But on the other hand

* Conventional Police patrols reduced the risk of crashes by 27% at road works
and 10% elsewhere.

a fact that they tried to use to cover up the fact that cameras make driving dangerous.
