BrianW "...Cameras are an irrelevance, they do not reduce accidents, they raise money and they make the feeble-minded think that some thing is being done..."
Spot-on; I know I've written to this effect before, but we as a nation are becoming too used to increased control in the name of "appropriate action". It seems to be the less educated (in many ways) who are in favour of the unthinking application of further controls.
"Education and not control."

"Education and not control"
Hmmmmm. These type of statements demonstrate an "interesting" attitude.
Anyone involved in Road Safety knows that ALL of
"Education, Engineering and Enforcement" are required.
Funny that lots of people seem to very keen on Education - but for others of course, not themselves.
I fail to see the huge queues forming for FREE IAM advice
(perhaps that such advice includes keeping to speed limits does not go down too well with some who KNOW that "somehow" they are already "good" drivers)

Good point..but I always felt that most people already know how to drive safely. It's just that they don't choose to!

The A3 7 is not dangerous per se. The behaviour of drivers who do not take the road conditions into consideration creates danger.

There is a piece in, IIRC, yesterdays DT about a road in kent that has a bad fatality record which was to be improved but the scheme was dropped by Prescott in 1997 and even if gone ahrad with will not be completed before 2010.
In the meantime two people a year are dying needlessly.
