[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mind paying for contractually agreed-upon work. But paying somebody a civil penalty, which is all unconstitutional, and there is no enforcement mechanism they can go stuff it.[/quote]

Speeding contributes to nearly 1/3 (29%) of annual driving deaths. As for not paying your traffic violation tickets and claiming to have the constitution on your side, grow up.[/quote]

There should be cameras to catch people playing with their cell phones, who are the far greater menace. I wonder how that 29% figure is even determined -- unless the car is totally stationary, speed will always be a factor, but it doesn't mean that it was the determining factor. The cameras actually cause really erratic behavior by drivers (people brake really hard out of nowhere as they approach the cameras), and make roads more dangerous as a result.

With all this said, I have never gotten a camera ticket, but would pay it if I did.[/quote]

Those who use their phones while driving deserve no sympathy, but it is also true that phone-use-while-driving is neither necessary nor sufficient to result in injury and death. Speeding is both necessary and sufficient to result in injury and death. Speeding should not be a sole focus of any enforcement mechanism, but jurisdictions are well justified in making it the primary focus.[/quote]

This makes no sense. If I'm texting while going 10 mph and I kill a pedestrian because I was staring at my phone, you're saying that speeding is the cause of the crash, not the phone use?[/quote]

You make no sense. Go back to physics class.[/quote]

Ok by your standard, 100% of accidents are caused by speeding. [/quote]
