I'm fuming:-

Lying lot!

I guess this might be part of a co-ordinated campaign..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/7568576.stm
Cumbria is close to Cleveland!
Have they not realised the mechanics yet.... it says Black Spots will be targeted with hand held speed guns yet nobody is addressing the drivers whose behaviour is just as dangerous, but harder to make evident in court with just a camera!

Slower speeds mitigate collision effects, but do not necessarily eliminate collisions, or fatalities.
Only 3% of accidents on the A591 were due to exceeding the legal speed limit (Cumbria Police's own figures) so dont hold your breath while waiting for any improvement!

The Rules for ALL ROAD USERS:
1) No one gets hurt
2) Nothing gets hit, except to protect others; see Rule#1
3) The Laws of Physics are invincible and immutable - so-called 'laws' of men are not
4) You are always immediately and ultimately responsible for your safety first, then proximately responsible for everyone's
Do not let other road users' mistakes become yours, nor yours become others
5) The rest, including laws of the land, is thoughtful observation, prescience, etiquette, decorum, and cooperation

(My bold )

Any truth in this (or is yet another speed kills statement ?)(we know it's not a third caused by speed, so just what are they trying to convey ?)
