Faster, better…

(From Examiner.com via DIGG) The Examiner reports on speed camera legislation in Maryland. This topic is of interest to DougWeb. We are for it and against it. We are for it since our culture in Maryland allows everyone to break the traffic laws. A speed camera catches everyone because by its nature it is impartial or least we hope that those reviewing the photographs keep it that way. It would not be correct for speeding government vehicles and their drivers to escape citations nor would it look good to ignore certain types of vanity plates like an manned radar trap might. When enough people get these citations perhaps our roads will be safer.

On the other hand, speed cameras are intrusive and we should not have to go to this extreme. All people have to do is drive safely and crash less and the idea would go away. Unsafe drivers keep the speed camera debate alive.

Maryland has an unsafe driving culture and everybody is involved in it. As long as we continue to drive like we are all omnipotent someone is going bring up speed cameras.
