MR Taylor's 'calculated' 40m journeys a year on New Road equate to a one in 11m chance of an accident, only if you forget that that 40m journeys are not individual, one-off journeys.
He must also calculate how many of the 44m are repeat journeys by the same traveller.
The use of cameras to detect law-breaking is of dubious provenance. Most of us would prefer real police on our streets to cameras.
But speed on roads and motorways is detectable only by cameras. So what, apart from naff maths, is N Taylor's problem with them? Would he prefer a return to the days of speeding police cars?
