Fast talking
Politicians and the so-called safety experts paid by state governments to justify speed cameras are having a hard time explaining why the number of crashes on Melbourne's Western Ring Road is falling, while fixed-speed cameras having been turned off since May. The decline in crashes and serious injuries, revealed in police figures, defies warnings that the absence of cameras encourages speeding and other driver misbehaviour. The cameras were switched off when the Victorian Government conceded that many drivers had been wrongly fined because of faulty cameras.
