A network of 36 speed cameras on the M25 has caught no one in a year because none has been switched on.

I think cameras work more effectively as a visual deterrent anyway, only for a short distance mind you.

Is there a way to verify how many accident were caused due to speed in that time in the given 'sectors', and how many were fatal?

It's the M25. No chance of going over 5mph anyhow.

Oi, I occasionally curl one out there too. Mad

Actually, that might rather support your point. Thinking

OT, looks like a bun fight over who gets to eat the buns and who gets to pay for the ingredients.

You have obviously been on it at the wrong time of day! I'm very often doing well over the speedlimit on my private section of the M25.

I assume this doesn't include the ones on the variable speedlimit sections? They only work when the signs are showing a speed apparently.
