might actually be causing accidents.
From my own observation, it's not speed that kills, provided it's in an appropriate place. Much more, it's lack of either concentration or ability with occasionally an un-predictable hazard that does it. People need speed limits to use as a guide for how fast they should go, quite reasonably, especially for 'enthusiastic' drivers, but they shouldn't be the main index of safety.
So it's no real surprise that the distraction of a speed camera, together with a number of people panicking and slowing excessively, cause more accidents rather than less.
