Replying to: vinnyny (Jan 15, 2009 2:56 pm) 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: oregonboy (Jan 15, 2009 5:35 pm) 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: larsb (Jan 15, 2009 1:08 pm) 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. |

Replying to: larsb (Jan 14, 2009 6:06 am) First, not everyone who tailgates is exceeding the speed limit. So, if everyone - the person tailgating, and the vehicle in front - is driving the speed limit, or even, say 9 mph over, photo radar will not catch them, by your own admission. This is especially true on urban and suburban streets, where most people do drive the speed limit or about 10 mph over. Second, on limited access highways, if someone is WANTING TO GO FASTER, than the proper response for the person in front should be to yield. That is why limited access highways have multiple lanes, and one is generally called the "fast lane." Don't see how photo radar will solve that problem. |
