I understand that these fines go to the city, but it's still to me an underhanded way to catch speeders. But sometimes those I high beam still don't get it, and get caught in the trap anyways.

It seems as though you can't drive a block anymore without encountering careless motorists. So I must ask: Why the hell should more tools be created for the people who ignore traffic laws? Oh yes, let's make it easier for the "speed-demons" to get away with it...Why not, since it could be you or a loved one that one of these "freaks" kills next? Shouldn't we put more time and energy into making our roads safer?<br /> There is a much more simple solution, if "speedy drivers" wish to avoid being ticketed...JUST SLOW DOWN and obey the traffic laws.</p> Are our highways not already inundated with poor drivers and "speed-demons"?

That first paragraph says it all: no need for the GSP service.

At the present and prophesied future cost of a litre of
gas, the family road trip/Sunday drive/2 week holiday driving Route 66 (or any other route) is out of the question for most and certainly no one with any common sense is putting the 'pedal to the metal" anymore.

The GPS service just got crushed under the wheels of the
2008 gasoline consumer.

Whats to stop police from uploading false sites at every certain interval to make people stay slow? If you get my meaning.</p> <p>Unless there is a filter to turn off user submitted spots, this would be all to bloody easy to make it ring every 30 seconds.</p> It says "users can upload known sites as well".

Unless there is a filter to turn off user submitted spots, this would be all to bloody easy to make it ring every 30 seconds.
