Numbers do lie. This article, and more if you just look, show that the UK statistics are bogus and deliberately incomplete :http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/26/2638.aspThis video is also informativehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADj_lnKVRhE It's all about the money and not at all about safety. The data above indicates that speed is only to blame for 7% of accidents, which sound rather fishy. Well, they seem to be doing a good job Down Under... "The use of cameras to enforce speeding has proven road safety benefits. An independent evaluation of the NSW fixed speed camera program found that at sites where speed cameras have been installed there has been a 70 per cent reduction in speeding resulting in a 90 per cent decline in fatalities and a 23 per cent reduction in injuries." http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety...ras/index.html Maybe we question too the reliability and purpose of DUI prosecution as being the greatest scam of them all. You think MADD is about reducing deaths? No, it's all about money too! Case No: 8254XEE Police allegedly saw a car driving 76mph in a 45mph zone. The officer tried to pull over the car but it took about ten blocks to pull over. The officer then observed signs of impairment of the driver. The client was then offered roadside test with they failed. The driver was then arrested for DUI and the officer offered a breath test which was refused. The defense filed and argued motions that were denied. We moved forward and took the case to a jury trial where our client was found not guilty. http://southfloridadui.com/topics/recentvictories.html *** Clearly guilty but a good lawyer --and the proper amount of cash-- can you get out of trouble. DUI's are bad but I bet talking on the phone causes more deaths. This is a political issue, where the politicians are afraid to **** off drivers who are after all voters. This is my point folks, THE WHOLE TRAFFIC SYSTEM NEEDS AN OVERHAUL. |
