These up-eds usually complain that photo radar would be fine if the radar worked properly. This one doesn't even do that. It just complains that speed limits aren't fair and now drivers have to change their behavior. jfc

It is true that drivers can avoid such tickets by sticking to the posted speed limits, but it is also true that drivers are hardly ever expected to strictly observe those limits.

...

It’s like the generally accepted contract between drivers and police – just drive at a reasonable speed and you’ll be fine – has been broken.

I'm not sure drivers can even improve, that would mean setting higher requirements to get and keep your driver's license, and I don't ever see the automobile lobbies or car-centric society adhering to such changes.
