(73,872 posts)i think there should be national standards. i said that in an earlier post. but there is no evidence that there is anything funky here in chicago, and evidence that it is making driving safer. the linked study merely counts accidents, without counting severity or injury, then meekly admits that it should be counted. but i find it convincing that t-bone accidents are way down even if rear-end accidents are up. these are far less damaging and dangerous. perhaps a little farther down the learning curve everyone will start being more careful at intersections.
when i get a ticket for something, i take the blame. i'm a grown up. if your coworkers are blaming the camera for their tickets, they aren't.
please don't take it personally. just my opinion.
