Lab rats ?

Could the decision by Swindon Council to stop funding speed cameras and they hope to see them removed from their roads, be seen as a bold experiment ?

If the good people of Swindon start to turn into bonnet ornaments in ever greater numbers thanks to the decision to stop enforcing this law, then presumably safety campaigners will see it as a vindication of the status quo. And of course if more Swindonians are killed, then they only have themselves to blame as they voted for the change...
