But a cop isn’t pulling over every single driver doing 50 in a 40 zone.
No, but having one pulled over does a really good job of slowing everyone else down and making them aware that there is active enforcement happening right now.
How is a camera not the same as active enforcement right now? There is a sign warning of the cameras use, a sign stating the limit, and the camera is usually visibile on the side of the roadway. If you are a responsible driver you should be looking for and reading the road signs and you would know there is an active camera enforcing speed limits.
Most people would pass that cop and go “whew lucky that wasn’t me” then speed on the same stretch the next day because it unlikely they’ll do radar in the same spot twice in a row.
