DFT SAY CAMERA PARTNERSHIP STAFFING REVIEW REQUIRED
The DfT confirmed today that a ban on increasing staff numbers has been issued to all camera partnerships in England and Wales. Safe Speed hopes this is the beginning of the end of greedy and dangerous speed camera enforcement. The DfT spokesperson said: ''It was deemed to be prudent to prevent further increases in staff pending a review. The review will start in April on a by-partnership basis. Letters have been sent to each partnership.'' Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign said: ''For years we have been pointing out that speed cameras are making the roads more dangerous. I hope and pray that this unexpected move is the dawning of realisation at the DfT that all it not well with the failed speed camera programme.'' ''With Notices of prosecution issued last year exceeding 3.1 million and an increase in road deaths (up to 3,508) It should be extremely obvious to everyone that speed camera policy is not making the roads safer. In fact our most careful analysis indicates that speed cameras are making the roads significantly more dangerous as the process of driving is dumbed down and drivers have become paranoid for fear of their licences.'' Safe Speed calls for an immediate end to speed camera use on British roads and an urgent return to the proven policies that gave us the safest roads in the world in the first place.
