The entitlement of some Ontario drivers is absolutely astonishing. They are fully aware that you are breaking the law by going 15% over the speed limit. And yet they victimize themselves? (lemmy.world)

"I hate these damn bike lanes. Screw your studies. I'm not reading that"

"Cut gas taxes. I see no reason why I should pay to support public transit"

"Fuck speed limits. I'm proud to break the law"

This sense of entitlement is insane.

A pedestrian was killed about 1 month before a camera was put in place on a straight 4 lane road with good visibility on both sides in my city.

    It sucks, and without knowing the circumstances I'd at least partially blame the driver. Someone driving 60km and paying attention should never hit a pedestrian. People should be driving to suit the conditions of the road, and if a person is hanging out near the side of the road cars should reduce their speed. But unfortunately common sense is lacking in some individuals, and I have no good solution for that. At least in your case they implemented the change as a reaction to a real problem.
