Today I took my brother with me to get mail. He went in to pay a speeding ticket he got (he hadn't fully slowed down by the time he passed the speed limit sign & the cops had a quota).
They have photo radar and red light cameras here. Funny thing is they always have two different signs up ahead of the cameras telling you that there’s a camera ahead. Even the photo radar vans, they have two different signs they put out telling you there’s a damn photo radar van ahead. The speeding camera boxes move around to different locations but the signs move with them as well. So, if you’re paying attention, you’ll see the signs and won’t get a ticket. Easy peasy.
Then we have the DOT workers that like to put up funny messages on the overhead reader boards. One day one of them said ‘Speeding tickets available ahead’. I slowed down because if I were to have gotten a ticket up ahead, how stupid would I have felt especially since I just read on a reader board that they were giving out tickets ahead. It would be my luck that the cop would grind that fact in as well.
