Paul Smith was (briefly) quoted in the UK news media, resulting in a fairly detailed review of their claims by consumer magazine Which?, unusual for a group like this; per  it is right to cover this under the name of the group.  It was always a one-man band, true, and the fifteen minutes of fame ended quite some time ago, but in the brief period before everybody realised that the Bad Science|sciencey talk  was all smoke and mirrors (Smith repeatedly refused to submit his work for peer-review) they were just about the only source quoted against the mainstream view on speed enforcement and there are some in the Association of British Drivers|Provisional ABD who actually believe the absurd http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk/wiki/One_in_three one in three and http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk/wiki/12mph_comedy_web_page 12mph claims, as well as crediting him for the long-established regression to the mean principle described in ''Death On The Streets'' a decade before Smith "invented" it.  Yes, barking mad and grossly intellectually dishonest but still has obsessive followers even today.
