Policy that will make the Tories popular with motorists....

Claire from Safe Speed, says that, "We are delighted with this news that the Conservative Party will stop the installation of fixed speed cameras."

"We are encouraged that this is the first step towards a return to good road safety - after all, a safe speed is not measured in miles per hour."

She continues "The ongoing distraction that cameras have caused, have done nothing to improve road safety."

"If this policy becomes a reality, we hope that a return to intelligent and proper road safety messages, might begin to repair some of the last 17 years of damage," and states that "Safe Speed calls for the removal of all speed cameras. This 'quick fix' has not worked, there is no quick route to road safety."

Claire continues. "Focusing on the wrong road safety policies and messages prevent the correct ones from being implemented."

"We must ensure that road users understand the need to be responsible for all their actions, and that they are encouraged to seek ways in which to improve their abilities, skills, knowledge judgment and attitude."

"Promoting and encouraging good road user behaviours, attitudes and responsibilities must be frequently encouraged along with all the appropriate road safety messages."

She concludes, "there is never a time to drive at an inappropriate speed for the conditions."
