[quote=Anonymous]https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/09/03/dc-car-crash-text-experiment/ I thought this story was really interesting. They sent warnings to drivers who they identified as high risk based on camera violations. The warnings didn’t work, but it says they correctly identified 65% of the cars involved in collisions over a 12 month period. I don’t totally get what that statistic meant but given that collisions involve two vehicles and often only one is at fault, that seems like a crazy high success rate. I think the evolution of the cameras should be from revenue stream to identifying and restricting dangerous drivers. But I know that will cause a lot of privacy/due process problems. To me though, we already heavily regulate who can drive and under what terms and it feels like we should be taking more of those drivers off the road rather than just fining them. [/quote]
