Are you implying that I made that assertion? Because I wholeheartedly believe in the faster >> left, slower >> right model, I was simply saying that it doesn’t eliminate the problems being discussed.

I take it the cameras always get a good photo of the driver? Otherwise, how do they prove who was behind the wheel at the time a moving violation occured?

In Alberta (and I assume other places), the traffic cameras for speeding and red light violations send the ticket to the owner of the license photographed. No points are assigned to these violations because they can’t actually tell who was driving. In other words, if your teenager is driving your car and racking up photo violations, you will get them all as the registered owner of the car.

In retrospect that was a stupid phrase. In my defence I had just woken up when I wrote that. What I meant to say was that when the roadside sign flashes up and says “30 mph”, my speedo reads 34 mph.

And over here . But we also call the speedometer by the same name.

As Rayne Man says, “speedo” is a common shortening of “speedometer” in many countries.
Also, while the Speedo brand of swimwear is certainly sold in America, the company started in Sydney, Australia, and is now headquartered in the United Kingdom, so it’s not really an American cultural item.

Yeah - I thought the image of his Speedo bathing suit going 4 kms faster than he was was funny.
