Replying to: fintail (Dec 30, 2008 10:03 am) If the goal is to slow down traffic, I think that is working here. That part is the only part that needs to be effective - because all the other "good" things come from that basic step. Just by slowing people down, traffic collisions and injuries and deaths are reduced automagically.

Replying to: fintail (Dec 30, 2008 10:15 am) And I'm not against the city/state/county making money on speeders. If you want to speed and add risk and danger to your life, you may pay $157 for the privilege, each time.

Replying to: euphonium (Dec 30, 2008 9:01 am) LOL It took the 5th and remained silent. The meter maid on the other hand agreed that when I put another quarter in and the meter still read zero, that it might be broken and voided the ticket. |

Replying to: fintail (Dec 30, 2008 11:06 am) Exactly. So why did you bring it up? I'm not condoning or recommending 40 mph speed limits. I'm recommending that people keep their speed at least 10 mph or less over the speed limit if they want to avoid a Photo radar ticket. If you want to drive 11 mph or more over the limit, then prepare for the financial consequences.

Replying to: larsb (Dec 30, 2008 11:16 am)  An even easier task than paying the bill is simply getting a license plate cover or claiming someone else was driving...

Replying to: fintail (Dec 30, 2008 11:30 am) Um, I would hope that EVERYONE HERE is concerned about reducing casualties and injuries and deaths and property damage !!!!

Replying to: larsb (Dec 30, 2008 11:44 am) I'm sure everyone here does, you can get off your high horse now. Everyone here except you is also aware that driver inattention is far more important as a factor in causing accidents than speeding, this was the conclusion of a recent NHTSA Report. You may think there are a lot of speed-crazed drivers in Arizona but I don't think so. You ought to try driving from Boston to New Hampshire on I-93 North, no matter how fast you're going someone will pass you within the next five minutes. They drive too fast, Zonians do not. I am seldom passed by anyone in AZ while traveling within 5 mph of the limit, almost never if I push it to 8-10 over,
