Heya,
been a long time. I guess this time I just want to hear your views, what's your take on the public setting up a site/blog to warn each other of traffic/speed traps? Do you think this is fine? There is one particular gentleman, Pig-Spotter on twitter and he reports each and every incident around Gauteng, well I guess now that the police are hot on his trail little leaves to be desired as to whether this is Illegal.
Personally, what is the point of traffic cameras catching you on camera and having you pay those fines if in the first place it does make you re-calculate your actions at that point in time. I prefer the olden days when a traffic officer would stop a motorist travelling at high speed versus a camera taking your registration number, a fine processed and then one only has to pay that. I see no enforcement in that, prevention is still better than cure.
Let's fast track this one, say for example an individual sees that ahead of them is a speed enforcing camera, immediately that person will reduce their speed, and that is the whole point, to regulate driving at a certain speed, well, right now what happens is one would just continue at whatever ridiculous speed and come month end a ticket/fine will be in the post only for the individual to settle it. So at which point was enforcement regulated? Maybe that's why we are seeing the whole points system coming into play......watching this one closely....
Let's hear your views.......
