- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 4y agoSpeed bumps can't collect tolls from drivers which is all the tax mercenaries care about.
- Moldoteck 4y agoThe question is: are those taxes bigger than hospital bills of people injured in accidents(higher speed= more frqwent and severe accidents)
- valdiorn 4y agoInitially when I saw these headlines I assume this would be for catching moped thieves and replacing police cars and motorbikes in high speed chases. Chasing a fleeing suspect in central London is very, very dangerous for bystanders, especially if the suspect is more than happy to mount the pavement and cause crashes. Lots of narrow streets, and chases often come down to a game of chicken, where the suspect will take a route that the police can't justify following him down (like a crowded pedestrian alley, or weaving through gridlocked traffic). A drone flying overhead is a lot safer for everyone involved. But no, this is apparently for spying on regular motorists. I thought we already had cameras for that, but whatever...
