California Wants To Put E-Ads On License Plates
techmuse writes "The San Jose Mercury News reports that the California state legislature wants to put electronic advertising on license plates. The plate would display standard plate information when the car is moving, but would also display ads when the car is stopped for more than 4 seconds (say, at a red light). Not distracting or annoying at all! 'The bill has received no formal opposition. It passed unanimously through the Senate last month and is scheduled to be heard Monday by the Assembly Transportation Committee.'"

It has been proven many times over, the slower you go in a built up area, the less critical and minor accidents occur.
You are just a standard car driver, don't give a shit about anything outside of your own car.
They're not set by engineers or politicians. They're set by highways agencies who have the stats on how many people are killed on those road types or in the area immediately surrounding the camera. Do you know how much more dangerous it is to drive at 40mph than 30mph in terms of pedestrian casualties? If not, look it up - you will be surprised!
I'm fed up with naïve people who think these things are just cash machines on sticks, mainly because with almost no exceptions they are people who drive like twats themselves.
