That red light is going to come on extremely fast. I had this problem in Los Angeles, usually the yellow light stays on for a while, but with the camera the red light came on while I was in the box, and then came the flash. Timing is different, it's in the best interest of the city, they'll make more money.

This bill will authorize the usage of speed cameras. Unfortunately, it's very limited but a step in the right direction.

Red light cameras already exist in NYC.

they really have to do something about the texting while driving.

On the Staten island expressway a few days ago i was behind a young girl, texting while driving on the HIGHWAY,
A HIGHWAY, what is this world coming to.

So I started beeping my horn and chased her for like 4 exits, just to **** her off, and shake her up a bit. Then when she changed lanes, so did I. I aI proceeded to follow her and make her life miserable and frightening for a while.

This girl, texting while driving on a highway was putting all the motorista around her in jeopardy for her moronic behavior.

Tell me, what on the face eof this planet could be so crucial that this RETARD, had to be texting while she driving on a highway.

Your behavior was no better then hers. You could have caused an accident by attempting to pursue another driver.

Driver distractions have been an issue for a long time now. The best you could have done was maintain a distance from that individual.

Please, unless you are a police officer inside a vehicle equipped with code lights, do not attempt to pursue anyone.

Of course,

the world is heading towards surveillance of every move that every person makes.

Can anyone come up with a better definition of FASCISM?
