These up-eds usually complain that photo radar would be fine if the radar worked properly. This one doesn’t even do that. It just complains that speed limits aren’t fair and now drivers have to change their behavior. jfc

It is true that drivers can avoid such tickets by sticking to the posted speed limits, but it is also true that drivers are hardly ever expected to strictly observe those limits.

It’s like the generally accepted contract between drivers and police – just drive at a reasonable speed and you’ll be fine – has been broken.

    Ah, I see, weak citation then deflection.

    That gives a pretty accurate understanding of what to expect from a conversation with you.

    If you don’t understand that questioning the impartiality of a source is a rebuttal I’m not sure there’s much else for us to discuss.

    No need to further rebut weak citations, have fun with your delusions.
