DORSET CAMERAS GENERATE £5.4 MILLION
Figures released by the Department for Transport (DfT) under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that Dorset traffic cameras have raised an astonishing £5,383,020 in just two years. Even more astonishingly, in the most recent year on record, £3,959,040 was raised from fixed penalty tickets. Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign ''Having conducted an extensive investigation over thousands of hours into speed cameras and their overall effect on road safety I''m not surprised'', explains Paul: ''We need drivers paying full attention to the road ahead, not looking at the speedometer and worrying about their driving licences. Most drivers are skilled at selecting a safe and appropriate speed according to the conditions, and absolutely do not need the distraction.'' ''The greedy partnerships must be disbanded. Despite their protestations and wildly exaggerated claims, they don''t improve road safety. The DfT have put the brakes on further expansion of the speed camera programme, amid doubts about doubts about the effectiveness of speed cameras and the quality of the supporting data. And about time!'' said Paul.
