Because it’s the only way to break the cycle

Usually it means consulting provided by an outside vendor. So in this case I think they are saying the government hires a lot of services from other companies. Probably to augment their own work.

No, his name is not cannon, it’s Eeyore. He’s a fictional character in the Winnie-the-Pooh universe, known for being depressed.

They are restricted. California has an insurance commissioner who has to approve any rate increases. It’s probably easier to stop insuring then to get the rates up to the profitability margin their risk models are suggesting are appropriate.

I am in fact stating that there is no proof that they do anything to reduce collusions or deaths. I stated in my first comment that such proof does not exist.

These cameras are only deployed to generate revenue. There is no scientific basis for improved safety.

It focused on the Arizona study because that was the only one out of the 35 that actually measured Motor Vehicle Collisions. The rest did not even attempt it in any controlled manner.

As stated, there are no meaningful studies that these cameras reduce accidents.

These cameras do nothing to improve safety. There is no meaningful scientific evidence that shows any difference improvement in safety.

Their only value is socioeconomic harm.

“after accounting for MVC increases in the control segment we found that neither camera placement nor removal had an independent impact on MVCs. In other words, speed cameras did not statistically contribute to an increase or decrease in the number of MVC.”
