Preliminary results from an evaluation of 28 of the state's 110 speed camera sites show deaths in those areas have dropped from 21 over three years, to just one in the two years since the cameras were installed.

28 of 110 sites? that's only 30% of sites
how can a survey be conducted on 30% of evidence?

The Minister for Roads, Carl Scully, said the study's results should have ended once and for all the debate over whether speed cameras were more effective as revenue raisers than safety devices.
"The research shows that cameras work - they save lives and reduce injuries," Mr Scully said.

So where is this study? freedom of information act should allow anyone to get a copy of it, or doesn't it exsist? It's all good and well saying you have evidence, but where is it? You don't get through Uni by saying you have an assignment without having to provide it or show it.
Someone should get a copy of it and send it into ACA or the local paper, ratings plus there.

$40 million dollars worse off more like it. This money isn't even going into things it should be, like more Police to protect us, better roads, better drivers, better health, better schools etc... then we could say we have done very well out of it.
They refuse to acknowledge that more people get killed every year from drug overdoses and cancer, where is the crackdown (excuse the pun) on those? - no revenus that's why.

"No one likes being caught speeding, but speeding remains the single biggest killer on the roads. Speeding is involved in more than 40 per cent of all road accidents in NSW."

Why are Australians so different to the rest of the world? England only came up with 5%, and Italy 9% of all road deaths.
