... Don't you guys have speeding cameras? As in, you drive by too fast, it snaps a pic of your license plate and after a couple of weeks you get mail saying "surprise, bitch! Here's a picture of you speeding. That'll be $400 or you're going to jail :)"?
Im just starting to see some of them but they all have warning signs before hand. We have a similar thing where your speed flashes on a lighted sign if it clocks you too fast, but since they aren't enforced by anything the act more like a high score meter.
That's wild imho. Where i'm at, there's speeding cameras at fixed locations AND mobile speeding cameras that are hidden and moved around. And the only warning you get is the sign with the speed limit.
Those street speedometers we have aswell within towns. But the fact that you don't know wether there is a speeding camera next to it makes it more effective i guess...
