pocketgpsworld.comDubious reporting has been spotted, once again, in the press. This time it is Metro who are milking the statistics somewhat. This morning we were informed by our member 'pEst_29' about the offending article and recently received it via twitter user 'MadProf' (our thanks to both).

The headline is incredibly misleading claiming that "Drivers ask for more gatsos" but when you read further into the short piece it is actually only 7% who want more! Only 25% said there were just enough and around 40% in both London and the Midlands felt there were too many!

This is sloppy journalism at best! Surely they should report the thoughts of the majority of those surveyed? Like the 40% who believe there are already too many speed cameras! It would be interesting to try get hold of the actual survey results to see what they really say. Read on to see the full article.
