Drive 12 -15 thousand miles a year


I am retired. Have been for 20 years and I drive almost three times that.

Back in the days when we had to change oil and grease every 1,000 miles, I had a standing deal withe the neighborhood filling station to change the oil and wash and service my car every Saturday. Even so, I would run over the target mileage.

I can tell from some of the comments that there are people on this thread that have high mileage behind them.

The big truck drivers who run long routes will hit well over 100,000 every year.

They could teach all of us a lot and the people who design interstates and decide where to put route signs should get them to design the intersections.

But none of this addresses the point, which is: Cameras are not going to be put on the highways to help you or to make it more safe for you.

The government has only two goals: #1 is to make you do something you do not want to do. That is why they have guns and jails.

#2 Enrich their families and a few friends. Hunter Biden wand Pelosi will be big stockholders in camera companies, or maybe just lucky beneficiaries of their generosity, like Hillary.

That is the bottom line. But along the way, it will turn out like the Patriot Act, the FBI, the TSA, the Department of Homeland Security and all the rest.

That’s a low average, you know.
