Photo Enforcement

Okay, I read in the paper a recent poll was taken of local drivers asking if they thought that the police forces' decision to move to electronic photo enforcement of the speed limit was fair. Over 70% of the idiots polled said 'no'.

No? Um... you're speeding... breaking the law... endangering countless lives... weaving in and out of slower traffic like you were a professional racecar driver risking even MORE accidents... and you think it's "not fair" for the police to use EVERY TOOL they can to fine you. Er... hello moron. You shouldn't be driving. You shouldn't have a license. You are a hazard to yourself and other drivers.

Oh, and these are the same idiots who take off their front license plate so the photo-enforcement red light cameras don't catch them. Or they hide their plates behind those "shields" which are only good for hiding your illegal driving and making it nearly impossible for eye-witnesses to get your license number if you flee the scene of an accident. Jerks.

I'm all for the police using every tools in the toybox to capture us when we drive badly. Not get chippy with them when you KNOW you were speeding or driving agressively or worse. Morons. If you are gonna drive that way, be ready to pay for it. Hopefully, it'll only be cash outta your wallet and not blood outta someone's veins.

Spoke the girl with no license! ;o)

But I do agree with you! We have had automated traffic control for years, it's all good. Not all boxes are loaded with cameras, but no one knows which ones are. So we have no a lot of drivers doing what we call 'Kangaroo driving'. Drive like hell, hit the brakes for all you're worth directly in front of the box, speed up like crazy again, then hit the brakes again... and so on... It's annoying as hell behind one of those idiots!

LOL - but if you aren't doing it, you aren't staying behind them for long, right?

Nope! I pass 'em first opportunity I get! I have no patience for shit like that! Especially the idiots that nearly stop in front of the boxes, and yes, there are those that do. They slow to a crawl that should have gotten their picture taken too! But noooo, that never happens! It's the idiots that do stuff like that, or those morons that go way below the speed limit that's causing near-accidents to happen, nearly every time!
