According to a recent Freakonomics episode, educational campaigns don’t work. What does work? Traffic cameras.
What might also work? Sending their info to their insurance company. I would be in favor of this. I don’t want to be in the same risk pool as these recklessly dangerous drivers.

- rhaway84773 3y agoTinted licenses are much easier to ticket. If the govt is actually interested this is an easy problem to solve.
- sixothree 3y agoThey are illegal in most states. But police don’t seem to care.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYa, right now its just an add on violation if they do pull you over, or they use it as a (very valid) excuse if they want to pull you over for something else.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoLet's leave traffic enforcement to the cameras, much safer for the police, who can then spend much more effort going after license plate violations with gusto (and I'm serious about this). Just train the cameras to recognize cars with unrecognizable license plates, then transmit the data to the police in real time.
