You, on the other hand, are so sick, and so obviously happy for road deaths to continue unabated, that I wouldn't be at all surprised if you literally did wank over pictures of young people being killed and injured (or healthy young people if that's all you've got). It's perfectly simple. Road deaths stopped falling as they had been when since speed cameras were introduced. The most plausible explanation by far for that is that speed camera policy is to blame. Only those who supported cameras for reasons other than safety would even attempt to deny that. This "Vehicle safety, engineering improvements and all the other things which had been improving year on year for several decades suddenly plateaued all at the same time" rubbish is just desperate floundering by those who want to see cameras stay because they want motorists to be punished for driving. It's quite obvious that these people have started off with the conclusion that cameras have worked, and gone through the most ridiculous contortions to get to that conclusion. But both the trolls and their opponents can see that it's the wrong conclusion. Anyone who believes that it is still possible to improve the road death figures has to agree that current policy has been an ABJECT FAILURE. > Moderation on that forum is delightfully quaint, point out that Smith > was hopelessly out of his depth and criminally stupid and you get > deleted. No Spindrift, you simply get banned on sight because you quite rightly have a reputation as a foul, lying, deranged loony who would rather persecute motorists than save lives. You hate motorists in the same manner that Bin Laden hates the west (i.e. you're prepared to kill huge numbers of people to get what you want), and you're about as easy to reason with. Although Bin Laden does at least admit that he hates the west. On top of everything else, you're an utter coward for continually and pathetically denying that you've got it in for motorists. Because that's why you really like speed cameras, isn't it? Anyone who didn't hate motorists would give due consideration to the idea that cameras were costing rather than saving lives. But not you, because you don't care whether they save lives, as long as they're making things difficult for motorists. It's so obvious. You're like an open book. Why not make yourself look slightly less demented by admitting it? > Meanwhile comments like the above are left alone. Says it all really. What have motorists ever actually done to you? I mean actual things, not just products of your fevered, warped imagination. It's a mystery to me how you trolls can have such disdain for people who are just trying to get around. Wouldn't it be better to reserve your hate for actual blights on society, e.g. vandals? Why pick on the humble driver? The worst thing is not that Spindrift exists (there will always be the odd loony), but the fact that he has supporters, who of course just feed his delusions and stop him getting well. It's a shame. |

Close, but no banana. Safespeed is, and always was, a speed apologist and anti-enforcement group /pretending/ to be concerned with road deaths. Everybody who is /genuinely/ concerned with reducing road deaths seems remarkably consistent in supporting the conclusion, robustly scientifically proven, that both frequency and severity of collisions rises with speed.

I don't know whether to be amused or freaked out that Crapman rarely
posts here unless it's in reply to me. Amused because Crapman obviously feels threatened by me and my habit of revealing the truth about cameras and the trolls' anti-motorist agenda. Freaked out because it's never a good thing to have someone stalking you, especially when they're clearly so blase about lives being lost.

Really? Where's your evidence? Oh that's right, you've got NONE. I'm sure that you and your troll friends have moles in the Clubhouse (sorry to disappoint you but we do know), and no doubt you've seen a distinct lack of the sorts of posts that you'd expect to see there from an organisation that really had such an agenda. Once again, you've shown yourself to be a LIAR. I know many of the people from Safe Speed, an awful lot better than you do, and they are decent, responsible people who quite obviously care about saving lives a hell of a lot more than the trolls here do. And if we really were a "speed apologist and anti-enforcement group", we'd all have a lot of points to show for it by now. Polls have very clearly shown otherwise. "Speed apologist" is absurd: we don't want people going too fast any more than anyone else does. Why would we? We don't want people to die. And "anti-enforcement" is nothing more than slander; most of us want *more* enforcement of most traffic laws, and we still want speed limits and parking restrictions: we just want them to be set sensibly and by the right people (with the right motives), and we want them to be enforced with discretion (and I can't see how anyone except a motorist-hating tosser would not want those things). If you actually look at the Safe Speed manifesto, I bet you can't find a single thing on there that you can logically argue with. So no wonder you're making shit up about Safe Speed instead. It's like when you can't argue with what I'm saying, so you start talking crap about me having been banned, or not having passed my test. You'd rather slander people than admit that the anti-camera brigade are right about anything. You're pathetic. > Everybody who is /genuinely/ concerned with > reducing road deaths seems remarkably consistent in supporting the > conclusion, robustly scientifically proven, that both frequency and > severity of collisions rises with speed. But since you (purportedly at least) automatically assume that anyone who questions speed enforcement can't be concerned with road deaths, it's hardly surprising that you've come to the above conclusion. All of what you're saying is lies anyway, and you know the truth as well as I do. Safe Speed most definitely is concerned with reducing road deaths; it's you and your troll friends who prioritise the persecution of motorists above the saving of people's lives. By the way, what do you mean by "speed": impact speed or free- travelling speed? Do you acknowledge that they are different, and no relationship has been found between them? Oops, sorry, we're not allowed to go there are we? Any attempt at uncovering the deceit and intentional oversimplification surrounding the "case" for speed cameras is invariably met with flaming from the troll collective. So I'd better not mention the fact that 95% of crashes take place within the speed limit, despite people exceeding the speed limit half the time. So much for the frequency of collisions rising with "speed". Oh dear, Crapman doesn't like that. A salvo of irrefutable facts: it's guaranteed to upset the trolls. The trouble is that it's great fun as well, and one has to try to get some amusement out of the existence of such twisted motorist-haters. |

Yes, we know you are also working back from his conclusions, just as he did. That doesn't make you or him any less completely wrong, though. Aside from anything else, the figures are actually stated by those who collected them not to be directly comparable across this period, but as it turns out this was also the period when mobile phones - a device for which there is credible evidence of significant impact on driving performance - became much more widespread. Without a mechanism for controlling that variable out, which mechanism neither you nor Smith has any chance of providing, you're just blowing hot air. Not that I mind you making yourself a laughing stock in Smith's stead, that's really your own lookout. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.
