Speeding cameras are proof that speeding is safe.
In the DPRM they have issued tens of millions of tickets. But there were not tens of millions of accidents.
Folks get photographed, go on their merry way, and get a ticket in the mail a couple of weeks later.
So where exactly is the danger here?
Yes, speed can contribute to an accident and high speed can cause an accident, but the clear majority of tickets issued do not fall into either of those two categories.
Total scam.
Red light cameras same deal. The majority, if not all, of those tickets are folks continuing through at the end of the light cycle.
Since cars in the other directions are already stopped, this is more of an annoyance than a safety problem.
Speed limits were instituted en masse in this country for two reasons: The environment (See Carter’s “energy crisis”) and little old ladies who are scared of speed. The ponzi scheme came later, but now it’s too far entrenched.
