In Canada, the Government of British Columbia scrapped speed cameras when they found they had had "no discernible impact on speed or the fatal accident rate".

yeah, and since 1991 the government hasn't learned that is more or less the same here in Australia
| Quote: |
But Buckingham says governments in Britain and NSW lump together accidents and label them "speed-related". The RTA says 30 per cent of fatal accidents involve speed

/* rant
And I am SO SICK, just absolutely sick and over the "speed-related" cop out excuse. Slapping speed cameras around won't solve anything and a band aid, symptom treating solution doesn't provide a real solution.
If there is an accident, no matter what the case the "speed" word will emerge, and no one ventures forth to counter it, as you can't dispute that if they had been going slower it would have better. Say for instance, if the truck and the car has both been going at 15kph, they wouldn't have died... so dumb....
Irrefutably dumb logic

but that is the way I feel.... 
Edit: typos..
