Now Here’s a GPS Idea With ROI
Let me go on record about something here. I am against speeding in the majority of cases. yes, I certainly have gone over the speed limit and may certainly do so again. But I don’t make a practice of any sort of outlandish speeding and normally on a trip I just have my speed control set at a reasonable number and don’t even watch for cops … in front or behind … because I’m within the limit or not enough over that they are going to other with me.
And in today’s $4 dollar gas it’s even more important to watch your speed, just for the good of the environment and your own (and your business’s) wallet.
But that being said, I can not abide the blatant and often highly suspect way that law enforcement is shirking their real duties and automating the process of criminalizing driving.
Often these cameras have been found to be suspect if not out and out inaccurate … and localizing enforcement only inhibits the potential for proper, active law enforcement to increase safety on all roads … not just where it’s convenient to hang a speed camera.
So here’s a site who feels similar to me … putting incar and hand held GPS to good use. I applaud their efforts. And, while again, I advise don’t be reckless, if this tip helps you avoid a ticket, you’re welcome … come back to www.satviz.com often … or better yet, Subscribe to GPS Tracking ROI by Email">Subscribe to GPS Tracking ROI by Email’>subscribe.
