This is getting out of hand.

      You’re not suggesting the automated mailing of speeding tickets based on average speed is reasonable, are you?

      I’m Norwegian. Read in the news that there was a guy who used to set a timer and count the seconds when driving through a tunnel with average speed cameras so he wouldn’t get fined.

      Just keep the speed limit, you’d get there at the same time. Sometimes i wonder how these people even survive.

                Normally I’m not fond of complaints with regards to transportation regulation, because there’s usually good safety reason, but sincerely fuck receiving a ticket in the mail I didn’t know I could even receive. I think speed limits help people not die, but there are reasonable ways to do things. Like the person also replying to you said, I am fine if I’m warned, but otherwise I’m legit just getting my pockets ran.

          There’s signs posted in advance that say something along the lines of “Speed Enforcement Camera Ahead”. The only reason they’d be a surprise is if you’re not paying attention to signage. They’re in the mountains, but I’ve mostly seen them out in the flat eastern parts of Colorado where the roads are mostly long straight stretches over flat terrain. Which makes sense, since that’s where it’s easy to speed.
