In NC, they won't even bother to write a ticket until it's 10MPH over (or in a school zone)
It's almost like traffic police are in the business of collecting taxes rather than maintaining public safety, or something.
Here's my better side :D, How did the slow guy ( Phil ) on the Road King and the Leader of the pack ( Rick ) not get pinged too ? Actually , my most sincere apologies to Rick, that's Warren ( Wazza ) in front on the ever so slow GS BMW, God help me it's like riding with Miss Daisy :D
I got a ticket in OZ once. *** Where are you heading was the question? Canberra I said to visit the War Memorial there.They were very polite as they looked at my drivers licenses. Then they informed me that I had made an illegal u turn in the road and although was legal in Canberra is was illegal in NSW. They issued me a ticket and told me if I failed to pay the fine before leaving OZ I would be on a watch list and if I ever came back to OZ I could be in big trouble! (ridden 1000's of Ks' in OZ since)mike :-)
OTOH, while researching,” saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N1iw5Vdim8 I like that enforcement.Bill
1% of AGI ? That is criminal.
I do think that (in recent years) it has more to do with revenue than with traffic safety.Recently in the news... a city near here was audited to discover an average of 1,000 speeding citations/year issued. This was five years ago.Last year - 9,000 speeding citations.A good friend of mine is Chief Of Police in a neighboring town. He complains that he is constantly under pressure to issue more and more citations. Basically, his performance evaluation is directly tied to his revenue stream.As with speed and stoplight cameras which are operated by civilian enterprises - THIS is nothing short of a revenue machine, clear and simple.1% of AGI ? That is criminal.
