Hundreds of people have thrown their signatures behind a petition calling for “the immediate removal” of all speed enforcement cameras in Brampton while the city is set to add more by the end of the summer.
They believe they have a God given right to break the speed limit
If only we had real world data showing that there are several examples of speed cameras having a positive effect on driver behavior… Even if it was “just a cash grab”, it’s still a productive thing to do, as it can be used to fund the infrastructure changes of actually designing roads to their desired speeds.
If you’re that worried about it being a tax on poor people, advocate for free, high quality public transit. The way car centric places are designed right now basically means car ownership is the tax you pay to participate in society unless you want a significantly slower and scheduled experience trying to use transit.
People who feel they can drive fast never understand that the road may not be built for extra speed. Most often in cities there aren’t long enough sight lines for traffic joining a road to see a car that is speeding until it is too close. Speeders and zig zaggers don’t see what the cars behind them see: that it is actually the great defensive driving, emergency braking, swerving, going on in their wake, that allows their “safe” passage through traffic - none of which would be needed if they weren’t so selfish.

The car can almost go 300km/h so i believe it’s totally valid to drive 10 over the speed limit when safe to do so lmao
What does the top speed of a car has to do with how safe it is to go 10 km/h over the posted speed limit?

Driving a center waited sports car is a lot easier to handle, and especially stop, than say a pickup truck right
Also these speed limits were put in place when vehicles still had drum brakes haha
The road I was stopped on should be 70 imo
