Speed Camera Fiasco

Do speed cameras really save lives?

 

 

 

Note:  A overview of the Buckingham Speed Camera Study from 2004 http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/00/33.asp
 
Key Statistic:
"If the 1966-1993 trend line had continued until 2001 there would have been 825 fewer fatalities in that year than were actually recorded. If we correlate the increasing 'fatality gap' caused by the divergence between the 1966-1993 and 1993-2001 trend lines with the rise in speeding convictions by speed cameras since 1993 we obtain an almost perfect correlation of +.97. In other words, there is an almost perfect linear relationship between the increase in speed camera tickets and the increase in the fatality gap."
