Eventually it'll just be a K9 update with a new name and logo.

So working smarter, not harder.

It's been like that for years in the UK where Halloween isn't such a big thing. It's usually the last week of August for most shops to start getting stuff out.

November? It's late August in the UK.

Probably played some golf on the moon.

The first two are newsworthy because of their exceptionality. Thousands of cameras two issues.

The third link points 100% away from the argument that it's just to get revenue. If it were they would be actively decreasing the amount of dropped fines. They'd be making sure cameras were calibrated correctly (as if they're not the court would throw out) and that they weren't

unable to send tickets to motorists in the post within the allotted time before they are no longer valid

and that they wouldn't suffer from a

lack of resources to bring cases to court

Riiighhtt because you're sooo busy and soooo important to your job that you can't take a morning off. Speed awareness course is like 4 hours and you can do over video call. Get a fucking grip.

Or, if you are genuinely so important and busy you must be paid a bomb, so just pay the fine, take the points, pay the bit extra on insurance. Job done.

Or, here's an idea. Don't break the mother fucking law in the first place.

"hi boss I need to take a half day holiday on X date, I have to attend a speed awareness course"

"Hey bob, can I swap a shift with you on X date, I'll work your X Saturday. I've got to attend a speed awareness course "

Or if you're to chicken to tell the truth replace with dentist. Or just throw a sickie.

It's hardly rocket science.

Sadly around 2019

It only seems to be since the yanks woke up.

Over here if you're just a bit over they'll normally put you on a speed awareness course for the first time getting caught.

And I 100% agree on fines being income based. I think some of the Scandinavian countries have done that. I also think there needs to be some kind of catch for the super rich who work the system so they don't really declare an income. Maybe if your net worth is x times the national average the fine is the greater of either a percentage of your net worth or income.
