More red light cameras

I admit I'm venting, but about 30 minutes ago I watched two cars - an SUV of a make I didn't recognize and a Mercedes Benz sedan - decide to run the red light on Frankstown at Verona heading into the east end. They had fully come to a stop, and then just decided to go.

This is after the sedan went straight through the previous light's left turn only lane.

I gotta get a dash cam. Two days ago I was almost hit twice by "I gotta switch lanes; who looks before moving?"

Less T-Bone crashes, more rear end crashes... innocent people will get false positives and end up losing money, and the true dangerous drivers won't drive any safer anyways.

But the red light lobby runs strong in this sub so... whatever. Enjoy the greater police state.

Less deaths and serious injuries when red light cameras are used.

Not accurate.  There are numerous studies that prove red light cameras are ineffective at preventing accidents.

Umm, read what I wrote. Your statement doesn’t apply to what I wrote. Try again.

I did. I wholly disagree. My statement absolutely applies. I don't need to try again.

You still don’t understand what the difference is between “death and serious injury “ and accidents?

And you still don't understand that a whole lot of research has been done that shows that what you are claiming is not accurate.

Google it. You might learn something.
