It would be like me coming up to your car with a bat and beating the heck out of it. what the hell does this have to do with speed cameras and poorly staged camera vans? If someone beat my car with a bat they wouldn't have the chance to pay for it.You made the choice to beat the car, not an electronic device staged in obvious deceitful locations.
Maybe next they have road spikes launched out of the side of the vans for people going 10 MPH over, better yet they should have this for people going 10 MPH under, LOL
You would want me to pay for it because it was wrong for what I did. I would tell you that I am not ok for paying for it because your car is not saving lives,
it is a revenue generator for Ford.Yes it is but how can you compare buying a car from ford and enjoying your purchase for years to come or donatiing to a poorly managed slush fund which we have no benefit from.

Our local government is talking about laying off hundreds of our school teachers, fire fighters and paramedics because their broke. The traffic cameras are a cash cow for the local government to make up for their poor financial management skills at the expense of the people. "Double Taxation??" and now want to raise our taxes again when they can't even manage the tax money we pay them now, they will find another way and not one penny of the traffic cameras slush fund will go to keeping our school teachers, fire fighters and paramedics employed.

Fact is people want to bitch and complain about the illegals and whatnot. But when they do something wrong its total BS. I drive that section of I10 and I go 55 and if someone wants to pass me then so be it.If they want to ride my butt, I give them a shot of smoke and they move. This BS about a van being x amount of feet on the other side of the sign isn't fair??? So what you are saying is your doing the speed limit at 65 MPH and there a speed limit change to 55 and there is a van 100 ft away from the 55 MPH sign you have a reasonable amount of time to reduce you speed by ten MPH with everybody on your butt. this is dangerous and BS.

Law is at the point of the sign you are to be going that speed limit.
You are given the benefit of the doubt that you can read, and read from a distance. I know sometimes it happens, but suck it up move on

Section 2B-12 of the manual states:
Speed limit signs should be located at the points of change from one speed limit to another or as near there to as possible.
a speed limit sign showing the next speed limit shall be erected. Additional signs shall be installed beyond major intersections and other locations where it is necessary to remind motorists of the limit that is applicable.

This is the law and in the case on I10 that was mentioned earlier this was not the case. They shouldn't have the Cameras 100 ft from the first sign indicating a speed change."speed trap" and dangerous.
