  • The opinion piece is epitome ‘fuck cars’. Authored by the prickiest of pricks:

    clocked at an excessive rate of speed – in this case, 54 kilometres an hour in a 40 km/h zone, which isn’t even particularly excessive.

    35% above speed limit

    You were just driving along, at a normal rate of speed. And now, you’re looking at a fine of almost $100.

    bc we’re all normal, amirite?

    But photo radar eliminates this. Suddenly there’s no accounting for the flow of traffic, the time of day, the weather conditions, any of that. Were you speeding past the camera? Boom, here’s your ticket. 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.

    speed should be discretionary (my discretion, ofc)
