WILTSHIRE PARTNERSHIP ADMITS: ''NO EVIDENCE''
13 April 2006 - Safe Speed

David Frampton speaks on Radio Swindon

Following figures released by Wiltshire camera partnership claiming success for
their cameras on the M4, Dave Frampton, (Partnership manager) speaking on BBC
Radio Swindon this morning admitted that there was NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER to
suggest that their camera vans had caused a reduction in crashes on the M4.

Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign
(www.safespeed.org.uk) said: ''This is typical of the cowboy behaviour of camera
partnerships. They claim success at every opportunity based on no sound
evidence whatsoever. Every lie or exaggeration distorts road safety priorities
and risks increasing danger on our roads.''

''After nearly 14 years of speed cameras on UK roads, there is precious little
evidence of any benefit, despite £800,000,000 in fines issued to around 13
million motorists. Road deaths are NOT falling as expected and we''re now the
slowest improving country in Europe.''
