    or there is a large number of unsafe drivers who only stopped in the presence of cameras, and who went right back to unsafe driving without issue

    …thus proving the effectiveness of cameras…

      Only if you have cameras on literally every road. No substantial action is being taken, so they go right back to dangerous driving as soon as they aren’t on-camera, as this graph seems to indicate.

          If they need to be monitored at all times to be safe, do you not think it would be better to take away their licence?

        You don’t have stop lights at literally every intersection. You’re being foolish.

        The point of speed cameras isn’t to stop you from speeding, it’s to stop innocent people from getting fucking slaughtered. We can put up with you speeding where the risks are relatively low.

        Jesus fucking christ, it’s like you people are going out of your way to find the stupidest takes. I think on some level, that’s exactly what you’re actually doing, because you simply don’t want to draw the obvious and correct conclusions.

          If speeding isn’t a meaningful measure for safety, why are we enforcing the current limits? If it is, why are we allowing drivers to consistantly drive over those speeds?
