Why Does France like speed cameras ?

Since installing speed cameras the number of road deaths has halved, a very compelling statistic.  From 7,655 deaths in 2002  to 3,963 in 2011.  There  are now 3,200  fixed cameras  933  mobile radars,  and 659 fixed traffic cameras. The expected revenue for 2012 is 700  million euros.[an even more compelling statistic for the Government perhaps , or is that cynical ?]
