I don't think any of us here can prove anything. We can only form an opinion based on what information we see, and crucially that information might have been presented with a bias towards the author's own agenda, and that includes HMG.
Look at what I've said about the new speed limit between J41 and J42 on the M4. Clearly I wouldn't expect you to be party to all the local debate which has surrounded this issue, so your opinion might be based on incomplete information.
It is a fact that when the Welsh Assembly was served with a FOI request to publish the accident statistics prior and post the installation of a speed camera at J41 on the M4, they and South Wales Police fought tooth and nail to stop such a publication. However, they were forced to do so eventually and surprise surprise, the accident rate had increased after the camera was installed. They were obliged to remove the camera. However, undeterred, they then introduced average speed cameras and have now extended those for a few more miles on the premise that it will reduce pollution.
