The Rules for ALL ROAD USERS:
1) No one gets hurt
2) Nothing gets hit, except to protect others; see Rule#1
3) The Laws of Physics are invincible and immutable - so-called 'laws' of men are not
4) You are always immediately and ultimately responsible for your safety first, then proximately responsible for everyone's
Do not let other road users' mistakes become yours, nor yours become others
5) The rest, including laws of the land, is thoughtful observation, prescience, etiquette, decorum, and cooperation

Sounds as though someone is dipping into someone else's back pocket to me.

Useless laws weaken necessary laws.

I hadn't read this article until you extracted this quote.

Quite incredible inaccuracy and spin.

The reason that people "don't think about the dangers of driving a few miles an hour over the limit" is that it isn't dangerous.

Speeding "reduces a driver's ability to judge hazards" does it. How exactly?

Utter tosh.

That's why I extracted it. I know it sounds 'truthy' to duh-masses, but that just proves the sorry state of driver education.
Besides better driver education, there also needs to be a shift in people's attitudes about BS, so that it becomes socially unacceptable to flap your mouth immediately after you've stuffed your head up your own behind, covering up the truth with offal, getting it all in our faces, and pickpocketing us while we're cleaning our faces.

If - for some strange reason - he doesn't know better, then he should. Someone who works for him does in fact know that what he just said is both a lie, and an insidious piece of misinformation designed to program sheeple and other induviduals to pressure others into believing the lie - and has the facts and figures to prove it [though they'd probably lose their job if they ewver leaked such info].

Every time a person in such a position lets fly forth such ... humbug ... it's very difficult for me to believe that they aren't lying 'with malice aforethought'.

I don't know how I'd discover this, but I wouldn't be surprised if he stood to profit from camera revenues separately from insurance premium increases; why would he say such a thing otherwise?
