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 ?]
