To those who complain about the revenue-enhancing motives behind the various traffic enforcement cameras, I say, “Better you pay than I do.”
I try to drive reasonably, keeping an eye out for danger, slowing for lights when I know they’re about to change and driving the speed limit whenever possible, however low it might be.
If other drivers prefer to jackrabbit from light A to light B, drive as fast or faster than traffic will allow and wait until the last possible second to stop, they should pay the fines when they violate the law and make life more dangerous for the rest of us who must share the road with those maniacs.
Bring on the cameras, put them in every school zone, at every stoplight, on every highway and tollway, in alleys, on sidewalks, in every nook and cranny where a car might intrude, and just maybe a little sanity might creep into our driving habits.
