TO comment on the introduction of speed cameras saving 100 lives a year, it is interesting to note than in 1999-2000 25 people were killed in high speed police chases.
Further, roughly 2,000 people are injured each year in accidents involving police cars chasing suspects. Source: A Brief History of Crime -- Peter Hitchens.
Surely this is a case of "physician heal thyself."
