[QUOTE=Mad_Aussie]http://www.roadsense.com.au/facts.htmlQUOTE]
Have requested per capita data from the WA Office of Road Safety of vehicles on roads vs number of speed related deaths for 1970-1979 and the corresponding data for 2000-2009. I was told by one of the staffers that it was to hard to reconcile the data and do a comparison as all studies would have to take in changes to vehicle standards, laws etc. When I pressed further, I was told that the figures based on per capita, showed less people killed from accidents involving speed in the 1970's. I can understand agencies like the ORS wanting higher fines and lower speed limits when most of their income is derived by them. |
