IT'S time rabid speed camera partnerships stopped clinging to a strategy that plainly isn't working.
EU figures show road fatalities in the UK between 2001 and 2005 fell by just seven per cent, even though there are nearly 7000 cameras on our roads. Between 2005 and 2006, the figures were even worse - a fall of one per cent.
What's more, child road deaths are 20 per cent higher than they were in 2005.
Only an idiot would argue that carpeting the nation in speed cameras has saved lives.
People are dying because there aren't enough police cars, adequate education of drivers or 20mph speed limits around schools and built-up areas.
