Total waste of time. Many drivers already have them. There is CCTV everywhere. The morning news is full of footage of the big crashes and loss of life over the last 24 hours. Everyone watches in amazement at the crazy driving .. and then goes back to driving just as badly as before.
The only thing that will work is proper law enforcement. No motocy drivers wore helmets until the police started enforcing the law and fining drivers. Now everyone does.
Speed limit enforcement with speed cameras
Road rules enforcement
License checks
Random breath testing for alcohol
