Maybe not the main takeaway from the article, but how long are people going to keep doing the "priceless" thing? I can't remember seeing any of those commercials for a few years now.
Seriously. If you want to use speed traps to make money, then fuck you, but fine.
Posting locations and notifying other drives of speed traps/cameras would cause them to pay attention, slow down, and drive safer, thereby fulfilling the stated purpose of speed enforcement while robbing the red light camera industry of revenue, which is the actual purpose of unmanned speed enforcement.
It all goes back to a very basic idea: anyone who wants the kind of power a police uniform and badge gives them is, by definition, morally unqualified to wield it.
Same goes for Presidents.
I agree. They could have reposted the law, i.e. go above X miles per hour, risk getting your car impounded. Rather, they decided to mock the person. To me, thats not professional
Whenever it happens, the chances of someone pulling over to help out a LEO getting the shit kicked out of him on the side of the road goes down just a little.
It's like they believe that if you can afford a Huracan you MUST have stolen that money...
Yep. You've summed up nearly all of my gripes, too.
Does that really matter?
I have gotten more tickets on my motorcycle than my car for sure and I admit, all are for speeding. The last ticket I confronted the cop that he was wrong for what he said I did (a right hand turn in front of traffic, what?), then just gave me a speeding ticket. I yelled at him for making me late to my midterm and he…
man I so high right now and I'm reading your post and half way in I was like.... when did I write this? Word for word. Bravo
Vote for higher speed limits? Oh yeah voting worked and got us non-stop corporate welfare, the War on Drugs, the wars in the Middle East, the 2008 bailouts, the militarization of the police a la Ferguson, and the increased cost of health care thanks to Obamacare.
We're going to see a lot more of this. My belief is that speed laws, photo radar, laser guns, photo radar vans etc are used largely for revenue generation under the guise of 'safety'. Speed limits are simply too low on most highways and expressways. Motorcyclists are demonized by cops and the news because they are so…
I saw a different link yesterday with sound and the flat plane V8 combined with the way this looks, well, new pants time.
Just wait for all the BMW snobs to chime in with how "refined" a M4 is compared to some lowly Mustang
America is somewhere between 499 and 708 horsepower.
I'm emotionally drawn to the M4, but this thing appears to best it by most objective standards.
I don't know about zero reason...different things for different people. I doubt these will be cheap.
