We support the abolition of cash for cameras schemes in the UK, the removal of speed cameras where accidents have not decreased, and refocusing of police resources to pursue the real menaces of the road: uninsured, unlicensed, or drunk / drug drivers and unregistered, untaxed, or poorly maintained vehicles.

Courts soft on uninsured drivers. Read more. 31-Mar-08 [source: Daily Mail]
Comment: Risking an average fine of £177 makes breaking the law a no-brainer for many dishonest drivers - the alternative is to pay up to £1000 for insurance. As the law got tough on insured and licensed motorists for minor speeding offenses it become soft on highly dangerous uninsured drivers.

Mobile speed camera lies - Great Speed Gun Scandal

At speedcameras.org we campaign to get the government and police to sensibly address law enforcement on British roads and to adjust their policies to save the most number of lives. Speed cameras and the Safety Camera Partnerships are not the answer and do not work as the facts we present here prove.

More people die unnecessarily in hospitals from poor hygiene than in road traffic accidents. Yet the government's response to prevent 5000 unnecessary deaths a year in hospitals is to tell staff how to wash their hands. Meanwhile, poorly located speed cameras fail to prevent accidents (2003 had the highest death rate since 1997) and according to police data exceeding the speed limit is the cause of only 4% of accidents. Why not refocus resources on the other 96% of causes?

So why would the Government continue to support a scheme that is simply not working? Because success is not measured by the number of lives saved but by the amount of revenue generated - £120 million in 2003.
