I-95 cameras snap speeders, spark controversy
 
Quote:
RIDGELAND, S.C. – As Interstate 95 sweeps past this small town along South Carolina's coastal plain, motorists encounter cameras that catch speeding cars, the only such devices on the open interstate for almost 2,000 miles from Canada to Miami.

The cameras have nabbed thousands of motorists, won accolades from highway safety advocates, attracted heated opposition from state lawmakers and sparked a federal court challenge.

Ridgeland Mayor Gary Hodges said the cameras in his town about 20 miles north of the Georgia line do what they are designed to do: slow people down, reduce accidents and, most importantly, save lives.

I just got back from South Africa and they have speed cameras everywhere. Funny part is that I rented a car and didn't realize what the little sign of a projector under the speed limit meant until 10 days into my trip.

I love it when you have pro-speed camera people on a news paper raving about how the world is safer now.

but I remember an article coming out saying that traffic jams on highways would be reduced if everybody drove fasterj even saying people speeding solve traffic jams since people tend to follow speeders.

they were screaming about how the investigation and article is ********.

I tend to follow speeding cars myself. its pretty usefull at night. leave some space between you and that guy and if you suddenly see a flash hit the brakes.

no problem.

I call that 'having them run interference'. It's the best way to use your radar detector.

The only radar detector I have is

anything else but that system or something like that is highly illegal over here.

No radar detectors allowed here in VA (boo!) so after 10 years of driving you really learn how to use other motorists to your advantage. Find a group of cars travelling at the speed you want and then let them gap you by a good bit... watch their brake lights and always keep an eye on your mirrors.

a customer of ours used to work for sabena so he went all over the world.

apparently in america he got pulled over and the cop said that they saw him speeding with a ******* satellite.

what the ****.
