quote:Why do you feel so mad that you are getting a speeding ticket. There is no need to protect yourselves. You ARE breaking the law!!! It is no different than someone who robs a bank complaining that there must be some way to protect them from getting monitored or caught. Drive the speed limit and there is no problem. I have never received a speeding ticket.
Now seat belt laws. That one makes me mad!!!
Where your belt and there is no problem! I admit I drive beyond the speed limit, but never would I get in a car and travel without a seat belt on. Just look at the statistics, too many teens killed here and most of them could have walked away had they been wearing a belt.UK Motorway speed limit is posted 70 mph, most traffic travels at 85-90 mph. Personally I feel much more 'alive' and in cotrol at 90+ mph (providing conditions are right) than drowsing along at 70mph.
An interesting study in Australia showed that fixed speed cameras do nothing to reduce accident rates and if anything they increase them as people try to brake at the last minute when they see the camera. It is nothing more than a money generating scheme.
Same here in Reno with Cops, the city keeps employing more and more traffic cops, never mind the increasing crime rate, homicides and gang violence due to the illegals. Why...becuase a traffic cop can generate their salary, plus more for the city.
