Never underestimate an Amerikkkans inability to know how to drive. Or their willingness to say that a big yellow painted truck with reflectors and a giant ass flashing sign is somehow not noticeable (thelemmy.club)

California drivers are having a conniption over mobile speed cameras about to be deployed to road work sites, even though they already have a 11mph tolerance above the limit. No interaction with cops seems like a plus to me.

They talk about how their appeals are going to be “auto-rejected”. I used to work for a DOT and the reason most of them are rejected is because most of them are bullshit lmao.

    speed and red light cameras are part of the panopticon and in some states they're considered a violation of your right to face your accuser.

    I would rather that than dealing with an ego driven armed killer at the side of the road. These were mobile cameras deployed to work zones and the workers seemed to appreciate them. Although I would definitely not trust the US government with that information…

    TLDR China should annex the US and do their traffic thing here
