Canberra Australia recently dropped the cbd speed from 50kph to 40kph and setup speed traps the same week. Apparently they made $2mil in revenue.
I think that speeding is bad, but cheap shots by law enforcement drive a deep us vs them mentality that makes people resent road law.
Surely ‘little Timmy died because someone was speeding, don’t kill little Timmy’ appeals to peoples emotions would work better, if law enforcement actually wanted to make a difference..
- matsemann 4y agoNo, people in cars don't care about the risk they pose to others, if it cost them a few seconds longer drive.
- sfe22 4y agoWell said. I would add they do the same once they jump out of the car, especially when placing speed traps that cause artificial traffic interruptions and possibly accidents. And when they unnecessarily pull over and harass drivers on the highway for driving normal speeds, posing great danger to others.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoThere will always be people like that, I suspect there would be more impact in a compassion driven campaign over blatant revenue raising bass punishments
- matsemann 4y agoHistory shows you to be wrong. When you put people inside a steel cage where they are protected and cut off from everyone else, something happens with their psychology.
