"Dorset Road Safe, which operates speed cameras, said such acts were putting
lives at risk."
Well, the last act of vandalism, near the County Gates roundabout, certainly did
not, there was an additional death and serious injury in the 4 years after
compared to the 4 years before.
Let's have a look at the A347 cam:
Deaths in the 6 years before: 1 And in the 6 years after: 1
Serious injuries in the 6 years before: 3 And in the 6 years
after: 7 (more than double)
Again, over a period when casualties are falling in the UK.
It seems, Dorset Road Safe, as if it is the presence of these cameras that is
putting lives at risk, not vandalising them. Even your own data tells us this.
Why is it that the "professionals" at Dorset Road Safe (and the councils
that support them) seem to be the only ones who can't add 2 and 2 together?
Why have you continued with this wasteful dangerous nonsense all these years
while you have had the data all the time confirming that cameras if anything
actually increase deaths and serious injuries? Is it because of the money? What
other reason could there be?
