Facts and Figures

In the last year, 37 people died, 286 suffered a serious injury and more than 1000 were injured in accidents on Tayside's roads. (Source: Chief Constable's annual performance report.)

And, that's about it for the facts! We've got guesses and suppositions coming out of every leaky sphincter, but the fact is, we have no idea how to make the roads safer, we can't predict where or to whom the accidents will occur, and we don't even have an official register of accident blackspots!

But, we're not standing around doing nothing! We're nicking speeders. Even though we know it will have no measurable effect on accidents and death, it does have these advantages:

• It's easy to measure - just stick up a camera or two.
• It's cheap to prosecute - normal legal principles (of liability, of innocence until proven guilty, and of the right to see evidence) have been suspended
• Every flash is a detection and a conviction in one. We can get our clear-up rates from around 10% to around 90% without actually chasing a single burglar!
