UK License Plate Cameras Have "Gaps In Coverage"
Aguazul2 writes "UK police are sad that despite having the most comprehensive driver surveillance system of any developed country, there are still gaps in their coverage. From the article: 'The cameras automatically record plate/time/location information and send it to a central data store, which has complete nationwide records for 6 years.' Also interesting is that an unspecified 'particular driving style' can be used to evade detection by the cameras. It appears, however, that criminals are well aware of the cameras and take other routes. Big Brother technology, coming soon to a country near you!"
Even if your logic was flawless and arguments impeccable (which they are not), back here in the real world, an increase in speed limit will not cause unsafe drivers to become safe, just cause the damage they do to be greater. You don't have a right to speed because you are such a good driver.
Yeah, accident levels will be backup up after a while but you forgot about risk of injury or death in accident, which will be lower with lower speed limits. My choice is idiot doing 60.
