RE: Speed and its impact

in Reflections3 months ago

You raised a point I chose not to mention, revenue raising through traffic infringements. The fines here are massive and usually the locations chosen for speed cameras are not necessarily high crash zones, just areas the government know they'll keep the fine-revenue coming in. It's pretty pathetic.

Very pathetic. It’s sad when the institutions meant to protect the people are the ones ripping them off. What’s ironic in my country is over seven policemen and women will leave there offices, and hide in conners after traffic lights. To fine and collect money from anyone that beats the traffic lights, in ways the deem wrong.

The same thing happens here, they hide despite not being supposed to, and they also put cameras in different types of vehicles to catch people out. They get plenty.
