To Gamer Javed: If the punishment were higher, careless drivers would certainly consider citizens, cutting insurance and medical costs, and putting dollars back into people's pockets: A win-win situation *also* for the public. A full circle *SAFETY* amelioration.

It’s a money grab , why is a speeding ticket ($50) lower than the cost of a parking ticket ($75-$180) if it was really about safety ?

Its a money grab. If you care about safety then put speed bumps on the road, but damn, no money can be made from that. And the reckless drivers have ghost/ fake plates anyway. They'll speed through all the lights but i bet they'll slow down for a speed bump

I don’t believe the statistics showing that people aren’t speeding after the installation of cameras are accurate. The decrease in summonses likely isn’t due to reduced speeding, but rather because people are using apps like Waze or are familiar with the camera locations. Drivers can easily trick the system by briefly reducing speed just 5 to 10 feet after the camera pole and then resuming their usual speed right after passing it.

"Slower is not safer" because it's an illusion. People will drive at whatever speeds they feel is safe. There was that study where people were driving, eg, 70 in a 55, and "blood in the streets!!!" warnings were against raising the limit to 65. It *was* raised, and the average speed only increased by 1-2mph to 71-72 or so, *NOT* 80. Artificially lowering speed limits just instills contempt for speed-limit laws, *PROVEN* because so few people actually obey them. When few if any people obey a particular law, the problem's *not* with the people, but with the law itself.

What next? Push our vehicles to avoid exceeding one mile per hour. This governor is a totalitarian tool. Here is what I am doing to avoid this crap--> Each and every time I see a speed camera I pull over right below that camera. Then I tag that camera ( on my vehicle GPS video display ) as a "Favorite Place". The most important next step, which can be done afterwards, is to edit the setting to that speed camera. Two simple edits: First, you assign an audible warning...for me, I assign a dog barking. Then finally, you need to assign how far in advance you want that warning ( dog barking sound ) to go off. ..for me, it's set at 300 feet. And for legal purposes, so the totalitarian morons don't litigate me, do not speed. This is just a method to let YOU know in advance that you are approaching a speed camera. Works like a charm. I encourage you to share this.
