m27 spec on roadworks

That just shows how random events are distributed. Get a couple of
fatalities
in one location, the cameras go up, the accident rate goes back down.
It would go down just the same if a statue of St. Christopher was
erected instead,
or if nothing was done.

Doesn't it count as a single offence if you trigger 4 cameras in 2 miles?

 

Come on then, provide a web reference for deaths of roadworkers
attributed to speeding vehicles.

 

It worked beautifully for those going round the M25...

If only they'd take the hint and put a proper M1(N)-M25 junction in,
instead of signing all the M25(W) traffic through the middle of Watford,
they could sort that chaos out properly.

 

I believe it does, you know.

 

See there you go. *Conclusive* proof that speed must kill

"A south Wales man was among four workers killed while repairing a motorway"

Although
www.highways.gov.uk/news/pressrelease.aspx?pressreleaseid=136814
but it doesn't mention circumstances.

I expect there is something of a Darwin award to be had while working on
roads

 

No, 4 separate offences so an instant ban. There were PLENTY of warning
signs. Several drivers went through the 40 limit at 60+ and also collected
convictions for dangerous driving. At least one went through all 4 cameras
at 80+ and served one year of a 2 year sentence plus a very long driving ban.

 

Depends. There are instances when beaks have accepted a 'single event'
plea. You really don't know much, do you?

Anyway, how about this link between speed and road worker casualties?

Hint: this is something I actually had to research a few years back.

 

Speed limits are advisory.
