EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:

This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.

If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.

    Why is high speed highway driving safer per km if vehicle velocity is a ‘very significant element of road safety’?

    The problem, as ever, is retards driving fast on slow roads and slow on fast roads. The camera doesn’t discriminate, it triggers no matter the context. It will trigger the same way for a racing driver with lightening fast reflexes in perfect conditions as it will for tired grandma with cold treacle reaction time driving on snow.

    Don’t believe their lies.

      Because highways don’t have stop signs or lights or people in slower means of transportation sharing the road with cars.

      When accidents happen on highways they tend to involve more cars and to be more destructive too because of the speeds involved.
