Safe Speed Forums

I just plucked this little gem from another thread:

"If each speed camera saved just one life each year, there would be no deaths on our roads at all."

When you marry this up with the claim / policy that speed cameras are only sited where several deaths have occured, makes you wonder what they are there for?

I would suggest that it makes an excellent, catchy slogan in opposition to speed cameras. However having said that, the response would be that if all 5000 cameras save just one life it would all be worthwhile. The counter response would be of course, yes but how many deaths have they actually caused?
