He then went on the say that speed isnt cause for the majority of the crashes and that if speed is involved it just amplifies the effects. He proceeded to say that he beleives the police speed campaigns are because they cannot police the other causes for the crashes as effectively e.g people falling asleep, being distracted. And the need to be seen to do something, also the words money grab were implied .

took the words right out of my mouth.
