I was reading about people like that while I was driving home yesterday. ;)
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

In the original post is a description of the system, first link.
is this sorta like I used to tell my trainees, "read the manual, then if you still don't understand come ask me again" ???

Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

I'm sorry, but speed cameras where I live are not used to protect lives, they are used to generate revenue. They are indeed evil.

I've always wanted to get a can of spray paint, black preferably, taped to the end of a long stick with a mechanism that lets me actuate the spray and deal with these cameras as I came across them.

LOL. I've considered just driving over them, when they are not manned.

Here, they keep moving the actual limits down, because they don't make enough money off cameras anymore.
Interesting. Around here they use the same technology to simply inform drivers what their speed is on a large display. It's proven that telling someone that he is doing twenty miles over the speed limit will 9:10 times get him to slow down. Now if only they could develop technology that would detect someone who was talking on his cell phone while shaving and spreading a map out across the steering wheel so he can determine which exit to take. . .

Is 9:10 supposed to be a fraction? I've always thought that a number in the a:b format is a ratio, but 9/19 doesn't really sound like a heartening figure

Maybe you could mount shotguns on your car bonnet?

what have you got that has a higher ROI?

Steve Jackson already suggested that.

I don't have anything. I was simply asking for a clarification - nine nineteenths didn't sound like a common fraction to use, and was interested to know if it was a different way of writing fractions

In my region (Chennai, India), the city administration aggressively spends the tax payer's money in setting up all types of fancy signals and cameras at strategic places across the city but forgets to initiatilise them to work. After a lot of years, with good amount of dust gathered on it, they just take it and throw it away.
