Re: Speeding Cameras
[ QUOTE ]
No offense dude, but attribute road rage to another with a safe and legal behavior is pushing the responsibility to the wrong person. Road rage seem to stem more from a psychological deficiency in the one that exhibits it.
As the traffic deciding I would rather expect the people in the traffic abide by the law governing driving on public road. Anything that will reduce the number of people infringing these, by issuing fines, by random testing, by cameras, will make driving safer for all. Go cameras! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So what you are saying is you want driving to be like the NFL. If one player takes a swing at another player and none of the umpires see it, but the other guy retaliates and punches back, but one of the umpires sees it, guess who gets the flag? The other guy may be fined after the game, but during the game he gets a pass.
Unfortunately, there is no game film to see every incident while on the road (you'd like that wouldn't you [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]). There is a saying that it takes two to tango--in the case of the example we were talking about, one person was in the incorrect lane and the other person passed improperly. Both at are fault--not one as you are suggesting. Unfortunately, lawmakers aren't farsighted enough to draw this line and just go with the catchy "speed kills".
As for your last sentence, I am completely befuddled if that makes you a hard line republican or a stalinist--all I know it does not make you a libertarian. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
