Default Re: My theory for speed cameras; Part 1!

I'm going to go out on a limb here...I think I actually understand what the OP is trying to say (little bit too emotive and poorly worded, just for future reference)...

The problem is there's two sides to every coin, each person feels they know what's best for them. They very rarely stop to think about what's best for others.

You may be able to do 150 in your car, but other's can't, they lack the cognitive skills to successfully achieve such speeds, and the result tends to be less than satisfactory for everyone concerned.

We don't have a democracy, and I'll wait for the earbashing that follows that comment.

I guess my biggest problem with your position is that low income earners, etc can be brought to their knees. Let's get one thing straight, they are no more important that you, me, Joe Bloggs down the road - they're treated differently, and they shouldn't be.

I guess at the end of the day, if these people lose their licence because they either refuse to follow the law, or they just don't care - that's their problem...and they really should have thought of that before.

People in this country need to start taking responsibility for their actions.

Suggesting that people should be allowed to speed can be likened to people being allowed to commit murder...there's laws that say you can't. Sure, some people speed, some people commit murder...but for the most part, the rest of us understand that we're responsible for our own lives, and what happens in it.
