    If you want to end the enforcement cameras just take a picture of the plates of your least favorite high ranking political figure. Print a ton out and go a sports bar or chad gym and paste over all the plates in the parking lot. Prioritize cars with big fins or stance. That driver’s infraction are re routed to the copied tag. Rinse repeat once they catch on to that tag.

      If you want to end the enforcement cameras, drive responsibly and don’t break the rules that are written in blood.

      There are many instances of dystopian government overreach in many places. This ain’t it.

        Eh…

        There’s quite a bit of low tax rates mixed in with that ink. Politicians want to boast about low taxes, but that revenue needs to come from somewhere and now it’s fines and fees.

        Thank you. People will eat organic vegan, apply sunscreen, exercise regularly, but when they get behind the wheel suddenly loose a certain sense of self preservation. And me preservation too! Cause I’m that asshole walking on the too small sidewalks. Assholes

          Which you can easily counter by following the rules for once.

          The solution is as simple as that, and if you feel compelled to break the rules - let it at least be a source of revenue.

              That is why we have traject control cameras which calculate the speed between 2 cameras.

              If the following car doesn’t speed, the guy will roam past, making braking a non-issue for the lawful driver behind as the distance between them will continuously increase.

              The only place where it is an issue is when he tries to get in front of someone right before the stoplight.

              But in any case, this is reckless and dangerous driving and I’d much prefer each country would have rules against that.

                The guy that starts speeding is a danger to everyone around them. A lot of the time that speeding includes erratically weaving between other cars, even if they barely have the room to get through.

                  Absolutely true. Speeding often correlates with such behavior, which brings even more danger to the roads.

          Our state has speed cameras in school zones. I would like to see before-and-after statistics showing that fewer kids have been hit since the installation of the cameras.

          Of course, said data doesn’t exist, because no one bothered to collect it. It “feels” safer and generates revenue, so they do it.
