What’s more effective at changing bad driving behaviour, being caught in the moment and spending 10 min on the side ofbthe road getting a ticket, or getting a ticket in the mail a couple if weeks later when you’ve probably forgotten that you were even on that road at that time?
Then you tick the court date box and mail it back to them. Then two or three years later, you get a court date, so you dust off your form letter charter 11b challenge, send it off to all relevant parties, head down to the Winchester and wait for all of this to blow over.
Aware, and I fully agree. I am just adding to the point that not only does it fail to address the safety issue, but the massive uptick in tickets generated by this solution will inevitably spill over into an already overwhelmed court system, which will cost us economically and socially.
Who’s got a higher salary, a cop or a camera?
How about fuck no not in a million years. The LAST thing we need is to tell cops to go out and aggressively harass anyone who “looks distracted.”
Even if cars were the responsibility of people walking (they aren’t, wtf?) there’s a 0% chance this could go smoothly.

My point is that does nothing to serve the stated goal of increasing safe driving.

Depends on how often the camera needs to be repaired/replaced and where the money goes for the tickets it writes.
Cops need to start ticketing:
And also:
You want to ticket pedestrians for standing on the edge of the curb, waiting for the light? Like, on the sidewalk, just really close to the road?
Like literally right on the curb, sometimes on the road edge of the road itself, making it incredibly difficult to see around them when making a turn.
It’s next-level stupid. Like should some dipshit lose control of their car or take the turn too sharp, that person is fucked.
