These up-eds usually complain that photo radar would be fine if the radar worked properly. This one doesn’t even do that. It just complains that speed limits aren’t fair and now drivers have to change their behavior. jfc
It is true that drivers can avoid such tickets by sticking to the posted speed limits, but it is also true that drivers are hardly ever expected to strictly observe those limits.

Cop showed up, noted hey inability to turn her head even to talk with him much less check mirrors - plus the assortment of dings on her car - and pulled her license. AFAIK she wouldn’t need a retest but she would need a medical note attesting to her ability to drive
