By John Mikkelsen, published 25/9/2024

We know it's just adding to huge deficits which would be much more massive if it weren't for lucrative royalties and taxes.

The irony is that the push to constantly monitor speed and search for barely visible speed limit signs can becomes a hazard in itself. The more fixated on the dashboard we are, the less we're paying attention to everything else. When the enforcement is so rigid that it forces drivers into a state of hyper-vigilance about their speed rather than the actual driving conditions, it defeats the purpose.

It seems as though the system values catching minor infractions more than it values creating conditions for drivers to focus on what's truly important: the road and their surroundings. Which is why enforcement feels more like a trap for revenue generation than a legitimate attempt to protect public safety. If safety is the goal, driving to the conditions should be the priority, not forcing drivers to divert their attention constantly to avoid trivial fines.

Plundering motorists for revenue is crude and unsophisticated : Let us have some honesty from the roving tax man and his spyware regime.

A totally new and appropriately affordable infringement policy is way past due date, that matches modern super efficient spy technology which we face off with on a daily basis.
