I wonder if a lot of you guys who are so in favor of those darned cameras don't live out in the rural areas and don't have to drive through many traffic lights.
Lately I've been working in St Paul and so commute through the back streets from Minneapolis as it's quicker and easier than facing freeway traffic between the two cities.
Between home and the job site there are probably 30 lights that I have to cross in the 12 miles each way.
That's 60 lights each day X 250 working days a year = 15,000 lights per year. That's just going to work and Not counting going to get groceries, tractor parts, visiting friends or catching a movie.
So make it more like 20,000 lights per year that I have to cross.
How many of you here are such good, law abiding drivers that you can time the yellow or stop completely before turning on red and do it perfectly EVERY time?
Driving, like baseball is a game of skill, chance and luck - with a LOT of split second decisions thrown in.
Can you hit the ball 100% of the time?
Can you do it 20,000 times a year so as to not get a spendy ticket?
Babe Ruth only had a lifetime batting average of .342
Think about it.
We drivers in America do a pretty good job of playing the game with billions of lights crossed and trillions of miles driven each year.
We don't need computer cams penalizing us if we don't bat 1000.

The first Allis-Chalmers Model G was produced in 1948 in Gasden, Alabama, and was designed for vegetable gardeners, small farms and landscape businesses.
