There are rules. speed limit, seat belts, signals, red lights, signs, DUI, child restraint, phones, radios levels, and on and on and on. You can pick any driver on any road in the USA and at one time they are breaking a rule or maybe many. So should we arrest every driver in the US? No of course not. Who goes 26 in a 25? and What happens if God forbid you hit a child that ran out in front of you between two cars going 26 in a 25? Should you be charged with reckless driving, speeding? You may not even know you were going 26 your speedometer is hard to read sure 25 and 30 is easy but 25 and say 27? But the black box nails it to the decimal point. So is this a good thing? If your going 50mph in a 25 and hit a kid there are several types of evidence that can be used. the tire marks, the distance the person was thrown, eye witness, impact on the car, etc . The black box is not needed. the only time a black box is any good is when the insurance company wants to deny the claim. and what if every car was tracked with a rifd and gps and cities and countries issued tickets every time you went above the sppedlimit? Is that a good thing?

There are rules, yes.

...and there are lawyers who can argue any mitigating circumstances.

I am no fan of vehicle black boxes and a privacy advocate. I just wanted to add that 2 cents.
