Wed, 04 May 2005 12:51 bubbles wrote on Wed, 04 May 2005 19:53 Preventing death's also raises revenue. There will always be risk taker's and innocent victim's, but fining someone for going over 5 10 or 20 i think is ridicules. Over 20 is a diferent story Like italy, the highway speed limit is 170k's and its a two lane road. When i do the limit im a worse driver cause im always looking at the speedo and not at the road. Im sure that most of these fatal accidents are alchool or drug related, but why are modest driver's paying for other people's mistakes? Even fining someone over 20km/h I wouldn't call that ridiculous, it really depends on the condition, you may have a long strench of road, 2 wide lanes, clear visibility, no side streets and it could be limited to 50km/h or less, if they keep having ridiculous speed limits (I remember somewhere mentioned they were going to lower the highways to 50km/h, yeah right, then people will be driving 100km/h in non-patroled suburbane streets, I already often see people drive 80-90km/h down suburban streets, even the police patrol does it without turning on their sirens or strobe! ) Why take people's hard earn money if they weren't doing anything dangerous? It's totally wrong in the first place, and traffic law is the only law that penalises people with no intention to commit crime, you can get away with murder easier, if there was any doubt that you murdered someone, you can't be charged or penalised, but there's huge doubt with radar, lidar or speed cameras with its accuracy! But tonnes of innocent people gets penalised, what if that person was you, how would you feel? But yes, everyone's attention is looking out for police cars and their speedo, next time try this, get someone to time you with a stopwatch, travel at 60km/h, look at your speedo so your eyes is focus and read your speed limit off the speedo, then after you confirm your speed, look back onto the road and get your eyes re-adjusted/focus on the road, when your attention is fully back to the road, how much time did you waste? How many metres did you travel NOT looking at the road in front of you? And if you have to check your speed every 5-10 seconds, with traffic around you, is this safe? [Report message to a moderator]
