Until photo radar catches people failing to keep right, or the police actually start using the feature on their laser guns that measures tailgating, you will have crashes. In fact, one of the only good things photo radar did in BC was result in an INCREASE in some posted speed limits.

Of course...when two vehicles get TOO close together....an accident has a good chance of occuring!
What about the single vehicle accidents that are a result of speed? What about the speeding driver that can't handle the curve and drifts over the center line into oncoming traffic? What about the driver that rear ends someone because they come up on them too fast? What about the driver that is driving so fast they can't stop if something is happening around the corner? There are sooooooo many what if's that involve just a speeding single vehicle!!! No one to blame but the speed ....and of course the driver for going that fast!!!
How do you propose to slow down speeding drivers? Please.....let me know........
