This may well be a perfectly true statement, but it has been spun to suit LACS.
Equally true is the statement some time ago by a Minister of Transport, when asked by Chief Police Officers to increase the speed limit on motorways to 80mph
"We have decided not to increase the speed limit, as it could produce an increase in accidents."
It is equally correct to state that it could also cause a decrease in accidents, (which was the probable reason for the professionals to suggest the increase in the first place).
In the absence of a formal study, there will be no evidence, for or against anything, so these technically true statements, whilst giving a first glance impression of authority and knowledge, are totally worthless, except to the people applying the spin.
