I may be one of those drivers other drivers really hate. I maintain the speed limit as ridiculous as I may find it; I always slow down at intersections, stopping at yellow lights more often than not; I follow a full second per 10 MPH behind the vehicle in front of me, often having to move back when impatient drivers move into the safe space I create.

A camera won’t make a difference to the way I drive, but a camera would sure as heck piss me off. It’s the principle of it all.

Have a unit there and ticket those drivers where it can be SEEN - that is the only effective deterrent.

RE :”Have a unit there and ticket those drivers where it can be SEEN - that is the only effective deterrent.”

Our cops are downright sneaky in jet black stealthy shaped marked cars with flat roof lights to be hard to be seen till its too late, and they feed at dusk or cloudy days when hard to make them out. They can nail you with radar through their front passenger side door window while poking out of a side street.

My next blog post will be about their tricks.

That is why non-moving fine cameras don't bother me.

If you do what you are saying you would be driving 7 seconds behind at 70 mph. Do you know how far that would be?
