John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 More than 65,000 motorists were caught speeding in four years in mid Wales. Figures from Dyfed-Powys Police show that 65,543 drivers were caught speeding by mobile cameras between April 2010 and March 2014. The A483 at Llanwrtyd Wells was the worst road for the offence, with 890 motorists caught driving too fast. A GoSafe spokeswoman said: "There is a simple message - cameras are in place to save lives." Over the four-year period, the highest number of drivers - 18,958 - were caught between April 2010 and March 2011. In 2013/14, 17,246 drivers were caught. It is not reported how many of the 65,000 motorists were involved in accidents, or how much money was raised from fines. Quote
dombanks Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 a rough guess of at least £3.9M given 65Kx £60. how many deaths /accidents were there in that period and how did the the presence of a camera effect the trends of accidents/deaths/injury? i would put money on there being no correlation other than a link showing cost of fuel slowed people down.

dhutch Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Would be interested to compare the 'density' of recorded speeding in that area, compared to other areas. Daniel Quote
