And if you are wealthy, you can speed all day. (I see these people!) If a you get demerits on your license, you will eventually lose your license.

And cops do sign up for a job they know is dangerous. I don't know about Calgary, but the Henday has large shoulders and cars are supposed to slow down to 60 when passing emergency vehicles. And one cop pulling over one vehicle can be seen by hundreds of other vehicles, one truck on an underpass is seen by no one.

And it was the UCP who quashed that all lanes need to slow down to 60, so

   

Danielle Smith to invoke Sovereignty Act on Ottawa power rules Monday

In case anyone here voted for her, now you know who she is actually working for.

And it's not you.

   

People should be able to see the photo radar exactly the same way they see a cop stopped on the side of the road, especially now that the trucks are bright yellow and have a 15 foot flag on them. If drivers don't see them, then it's their own fault.

The problem I see it is that a cop can only pull over five or six people per hour. So to catch as many speeders as these 'fishing holes', police forces are going to need to hire hundreds more officers for traffic enforcement duty (which will lead to higher taxes). Or I suppose they could re-deploy vice or homicide detectives to pull over speeders. Neither is an attractive option in my opinion, and a way for the UCP to knock progressive city councils down a peg or two.

Sure cops sign up for a job that is dangerous, but that doesn't mean we need to increase that risk by flooding our roads and highways with more traffic cops.

The reality is that if you don't like photo radar tickets, then just don't speed, it's really that simple.

   

I don't speed, so I don't get photo radar tickets. But I see many others speeding, so photo radar isn't deterring them at all. Today, I even saw a person flying through a school zone, with photo radar running, but the radar was perpendicular to the speeder who didn't stop at a 4 way stop sign.

Zero fucks given.

   

Really enjoying the 'about that' series.

   

Yea, Andrew is knocking out of the park there.

   

Alberta vows to fight new federal methane target, while oilpatch says 75 per cent cut is 'achievable'

   

Let's wait and see if Alberta can keep those emissions solely in Alberta. Otherwise the obstinate bitch will lose the Court case.

   

She won't file any court case. The 'Sovereignty Act' is just theatre.

She's showboating for her increasingly fewer followers.
