Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

of a driver training company, you might expect Ed Pargeter to say teaching drivers about the dangers of speed is a better solution than roadside cameras. But he insists the evidence backs up his argument.

"Driver training works much better. The trouble with cameras is as soon as a driver realises there is one up ahead they slow down, then immediately speed up again."

Pargeter believes this increases the risk of accidents rather than reducing them.

But he adds: "Cameras do have a place. Used in accident black spots, they can achieve their objective of improving safety"
