Replying to: oregonboy (Jan 15, 2009 1:34 pm) Just another way for the overpaid underworked minions of local government to avoid cutting the fat....and to aid in the illicit fortunes of crony capitalist camera operators. The situation in England isn't so rosy...but the blindly deferrent and the wannabe authoritarians will emrace no less. The land of Orwellian surveillance finds problems But maybe these results will be different in NA

Replying to: euphonium (Jan 14, 2009 8:43 pm) Apparently you've never sat behind that Prius in the left lane doing ten UNDER the limit while the driver yaps away on her cell phone about how she's saving the planet. It doesn't matter how fast you're going in the left lane--if somebody pulls up behind you, you should move to the right when safe.

Amen, Keep to the right except when passing is a basic rule of the road that provides for the best safety and traffic movement. If you are in the middle or left lanes of multilane roads you should be passing traffic on your right and you should move over for faster traffic. It is not for you to enforce speed laws by blocking lanes, it violates basic traffic flow principles,and you have no way of knowing if the person behind has a legitimate reason for going fast.

Replying to: larsb (Jan 15, 2009 1:53 pm) The point that I was making with the 5 Phases of Budget-Driven Social Engineering is that once that door is opened, you can be certain that the applications will become more far-reaching and invasive. The profit-motive is a powerful force and the bureaucratic machine is remorseless. Replies to this message: larsb (Jan 16, 2009 5:55 am)

Replying to: oregonboy (Jan 15, 2009 5:35 pm) My response to that is "SO FRICKIN/FLIPPIN WHAT?" if they are making money from voluntary contributors ????? Anyone who a) knows there are cameras around, and b) keeps speeding on, brother !! is a willing and giving participant to the local budget crisis. If you don't want to be "speed taxed" then just stop excessively speeding. It doesn't get any easier or more straight forward than that.

Replying to: vinnyny (Jan 15, 2009 2:56 pm) Would agree that one should pass in left, move to right to let faster drivers move on in left lane. BUT, there are exceptions. Such as in 3 lane interstate with brisk moving traffic in all lanes at tail end of rush hours, but left lane a little faster then middle and right. If I am in left lane and satisifed with speed AND line of cars ahead of me, there will be intimidators who will tailgate and want me to move over to slower lanes. There are many cars ahead of me and I am keeping a tight, but not tailgater small gap with car ahead of me. My opiinion is that initimidator will not be able to go faster than I am, and I will usually not move over for this situation.

Replying to: larsb (Jan 15, 2009 1:08 pm) has crime gone down in Tempe since the police officers have more time on their hands? The 17 percent drop in accidents can easily be attributed to Americans driving fewer miles in 2008 or more people using public transportation to save money. I'm not sure one year gives you enough data to support that photo radar is reducing accidents.
