Editor: Before Canadians let the government turn you into cash cows, please look at unbiased research conducted by those not benefiting from red light/speed cameras.
These revenue machines are proven to increase accidents as people are distracted watching their speed/light change and not their surroundings 鈥� including pedestrians 鈥� or slamming on the brakes, which is more dangerous here given the winter conditions.
They also spread like the plague. In Sydney, Australia there were 12 cameras in a 10-km radius of my house, and as the number of cameras increased, so did the accidents. I saw most within 500 metres of a camera.
Don鈥檛 be fooled by the propaganda. These cameras are nothing but another tax on drivers. Fix ICBC operations, allow private companies in. Stop them now before it鈥檚 too late.
