Privacy issues aside, a more interesting analysis would be to determine what percentage of car drivers do not break the law. Assuming analysis is purely on breaking speed limits, then further analysis could be done based on type of road (residential, motorway, etc), % above speed limit, number of miles spent breaking the law etc.
Correlate this data with accident black spots (insurance claims, type of accident, time of day etc).
You could even do route analysis and focus resources (e.g. a particular area has a large number of cars driving to schools and back, could a cycle/foot path help alleviate this).
This would be a fantastic set of data to get your hands on.

- bobtheowl2 13y agoSadly there is more business incentive for this data to be misused than used for good like you mention. While we are there we need to fix speed limits so they are valid. I propose a >2 std deviations = ticket rule. Instead of the current "we all know it's illegal but were only be a little illegal so it's ok", that defeats the point of having laws I think.
