Reduction in Fatalities: Many studies indicate a reduction in fatal accidents at intersections equipped with red light cameras. A study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that states with red light camera enforcement saw a decrease of 24% in fatal red-light running crashes.
Decrease in Injuries: In addition to reducing fatalities, the same IIHS report noted that injuries at intersections also declined, with a 14% decrease in injuries related to red-light violations.
Overall Accident Rates: While some studies show a decrease in severe accidents, others note that total accident rates may increase. This is partly attributed to the phenomenon known as “rear-end collisions,” where vehicles that stop suddenly to avoid running a red light may lead to accidents."
Different sorts of accidents. Red light cameras result in more fender benders, fewer T-bonings. In your example, 9 fewer T-bonings at the expense of 12 extra fender benders.
"Evidence clearly shows that camera programs are effective at decreasing the number of vehicles running red lights. In one study in Virginia, red light cameras reduced the number of total drivers running red lights by 67 percent." Seems pretty effective to me.
"When the Houston cameras were removed, angle accidents increased by 26 percent. However, all other types of accidents decreased by 18 percent. " So, a net increase in accidents. I can't make their numbers match up with their conclusion.
Apparently it's about reducing shift changes, which is when most mistakes happen. You would have to hope that someone has done research into mistakes caused by fatigue vs. mistakes caused by shift changes.
Someone told me that the reason for 12 hour shifts is that most medical mistakes and accidents happen because of shift changes. Reducing the number of shift changes from 3 to 2 results in fewer mistakes, despite longer working hours.
I don't know if it's different elsewhere, but in the UK, the only difference in Black Friday prices is that there is a label next to them with a fictitious price they are supposedly discounted from.
I taught myself to juggle once, didn't practice for a couple of years and now, not only have I forgotten how to do it, I don't seem to be able to learn again. Do with that what you will.
He likes to throw out technical terms to impress people with how knowledgeable he is. Those who actually have knowledge can see how miserably clueless he is and laugh at him, but the public don't see that.
