Mayor Alessandri installed automatic traffic cameras after repeated complaints about reckless drivers speeding in Acquentico, Italy. The cameras paid off, in less than two weeks, they issued 58,568 speeding tickets in the town of only 120 residents. That data amounts to one in every three drivers was speeding through the area, some clocked doing up to 84 mph in the 31 mph zone. City Hall may be getting an expansion if this keeps up.
My brother was alarming me by speeding through a red light. I said, “What if the traffic cameras are watching you?” “Stop worrying,” he sighs. “It doesn’t matter if they are watching or not,” he assured me. “I don’t have license plates yet.”
I was driving when I saw the flash of a traffic camera. I figured that my picture was taken for speeding, even though I’m sure that I was not. Just to be sure, I went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. Thinking this was pretty funny, I drove past it even slower three more times laughing as it snapped away each time, I drove by it at a snail’s pace. Two weeks later, I got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seatbelt.
A Tennessee trooper pulled over a speeding motorist and asked, “Do you have any ID?”
The motorist asked, “’bout what?”
As the policeman approached the car he had just pulled over the man’s hand reached out the window and handed a cell phone to the policeman saying: “My lawyer would like to speak with you.”
