We will never hear the end of the photo radar issue.
One fellow says just like smoking is the number one preventable cause of death, speeding is the number one preventable cause of the big or frequent ticket event.
We’ve got two people now waiting to go to court over tickets they say came too close together.
A woman doing 74 and 72 in a 60 zone is complaining about two tickets. And a man is complaining about close tickets as well.
The woman wants this to become an election issue. She’s from Calgary, speeding through Edmonton.
Back before photo radar was an issue, I was in court to see a driver who got caught speeding twice, pulled over by two different police officers.
The judge said, “You obviously have no respect for the law.”
Then, the judge asked him to get out his driver’s license and give it to the court clerk.
The judge advised the speeder to get someone else to come to court to drive his car home, since he’d be without a driver’s license for a while.
This was an old-school judge.
Do you think or hope the modern judges will be of the same mind, or do you want one ticket killed?
