Pedal to the Metal

I actually don't have a big problem with speed cameras, despite my driving habits. I can't say I'm for the use of them, though. My real beef is the red light cameras. Ironically, I don't ever worry about getting a ticket from one of these, I just don't believe they do any good. In fact, I'm of the school of thought that they are actually more likely to do harm. The fact that the companies that sell them tout how much more revenue the city can get, not how many accidents can be prevented, should tell you something. Either way, I'm glad that the Texas House just passed a bill that will prevent the use of speed cameras and require warning signs for red light cameras. Perhaps we can ban the use of the red light ones one day too.
