I found out which schools in my area have them (only 1 per district) so I'm fine. But I still worry about the slippery slope when they decide this successful pilot program could lead to a lot more revenue when they put them on every major road.
It has been proven that is just not true..a complete fabrication!I was busted by one of these in Denver.
This was the stipulation. : Pay the $50 and it won't go on your driving record. Or fight it in court. If you do so, and lose, it will count as 4 points on your driving record... If you win your court case, it counts as 2 points on your driving record.
(16 pts accumulated means your DL is suspended, you start at 0. Only after 1 year of no new pts on your driving record do the points come off).
So in other words. Its all revenue building. Only revenue building. You are discouraged to fight against them, even if you are innocent. I guess that's how the government will treat people when something is a privilege vs. a right.
Approved in late June, and work starts about a month later.Cameras are going up! reported poles placed about a block away from a bunch pf schools across the said region
more sites are being targeted. I saw one go up. DOT have a car that they park, set up cones in front of it to measure distance and calibrate the camera and then mark the spot and angle of the camera
Update: Suffolk County cancels plan to implement speed cameras.
Nassau County forecasted to vote on monday to repeal existing speed cameras.
NYC to stay strong and ticket the living shit out of its residents.
In Staten Island, and I *think* all of NYC, the speed limit is now 25mph across the board. This got implanted I think a month or two ago, and my g/f's father already has 2 speeding tickets because of it.
What if you're going 105mph; is it still $50?
That seems like a deal to me.
I like deals.
I hope they take it out. I got tagged twice in 90 seconds (going one way then the other) at 32 mph at 6:50 pm (10 mins before the official school end time). Hope they fucking remove it. They put up the signs after that week.
So how fast was he going to actually get two speeding tickets?
In this 30's. However, seeing as your location is NYC, you're all too familiar with the fact that 30 is still slow given the way most NYers drive. 25mph is damn near a snail's pace.
People speed wherever they can in NYC. Considering the pedestrian density, people should drive a little more slowly. Pedestrians are no angels, but survival chances when struck by a vehicle drop dramatically between 20 mph and 30 mph.
