Correct Transcript:

Cameras that catch drivers who blow through red lights are there to improve safety, by discouraging light running. But such cameras actually increase the likelihood of car crashes. Because more drivers jam on the breaks in an attempt to make a late stop at red-light camera intersections. That's the finding of a study done by researchers at the University of South Florida College of Public Health. They decided to look into the issue because Florida officials are considering installing many more such cameras around the state. The researchers contend that other studies associating cameras with fewer crashes and injuries are flawed—those studies were linked with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, an industry group. But insurers may profit from red light cameras, because revenues go up with increased citations and accidents.
AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Printed "unoccupied", the speaker says "red light"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "red light camera intersections". They do not start with the same letter, so listen to the first word.

Printed "sweeteners", the speaker says "researchers"

Explanation: The speaker says "researchers at the University". The printed and spoken words begin with different letters, so listen from the start.

Printed "lipids", the speaker says "officials"

Explanation: Listen for "Florida officials are considering". The printed and spoken words start with different letters and the spoken word is longer.

Printed "generating", the speaker says "associating"

Explanation: You will hear "associating cameras with fewer". These words do not start the same, so listen to the beginning of the word.

Printed "infamies", the speaker says "injuries"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "injuries are flawed, those". Both words start with the same letter, so listen to the whole word.

"breaks" matches the audio

Explanation: "jam on the breaks in an attempt" looks like a mistake on the page. It is said exactly that way in the audio, so do not click it.

"Insurance" matches the audio

Explanation: "the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety" is a long name and may seem odd. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.
