We expected that sooner or later the drivers will learn where the signboards informing about speedometers are located. It was mentioned by the President of the ‘Achilles’ center of protection of the drivers’ rights Edward Hovhannisyan. In his opinion the decision of the Police, according to which the signboards informing about speedometers will be soon removed is in general correct. However, the speedometers must be placed in dangerous places and not randomly. ‘Certain statistics exist, showing, which are the spots more prone to accidents. Speedometers must be placed in those spots’.

According to the announcement spread by the Police the number of victims decreased by 17 and the number of injured people by 64 in comparison with the same period of time last year.

According to E. Hovhannisyan’s words the Police must prove whether the reduction of mortal cases by 17 is a result of speedometers.

However, the announcement spread by the Police only notes that “Regardless the presence of the signboards informing about speedometers, positive statistics of road-traffic accidents was reported in Yerevan. Thus, during 10 months of 2012 839 accidents were taken to statistical registration, as a result of which 52 people died, 1065 were injured. In comparison with the same period of time last year the number of accidents remained unchanged, the number of victims decreased by 17 and the number of injured people decreased by 64”.
