According to the police watchdog, "a reduction in dedicated traffic officers has left British roads more dangerous". And in other news, bears have been found to defecate in the woods
The decades of concentration on speed enforcement by fixed cameras, or vans parked on over-bridges and in laybys, instead of having TrafPol patrols out on the road stopping, advising and issuing sanctions when warranted has, imo, lead to a decline in driving standards. When will the penny drop that "good driving" requires more than blind adherence to arbitrary speed limits?
Program on BBC1 tonight at 7:30pm. I'll be astonished if it doesn't reduce safe driving to "not speeding".
