Paul Smith, founder of Inverness-based SpeedSafe, which lobbies against
speed cameras, said: "There is certainly a civil liberty issue about
this new technology. But, more importantly, it's just another addition
to a road safety policy that is clearly failing.

"What we want to see is road deaths going down and that is exactly what
we are not seeing.


Road deaths in 2003, 3508. Road deaths 2004, 3221. Looks like they are
going down to me.


Not in Scotland - theyve increased.


In Scotland in 2003 road deaths amounted to 331. In 2004 it was down to 306.
Not an increase. The 1994 to 1998 average was 378.
