Spot enforcement with appropriate training and vehicle improvements is more than appropriate for numerous reasons: 1) Regression to the mean will happen with 100% enforcement/over-enforcement. The new standard for 'safe' will collapse to an unobtainable level which will not benefit society in the long run. 2) Safety is not my #1 concern. The number one cause of death on roads is being born. I value getting to my destination without being tracked more than the potential safety gains of strict monitoring. I believe in rational safety measures but "It's safer so we must do it" is an argument I no longer accept. I want to live a good life, not just a safe one. 3) We have seen time and time again that personal information collected by companies rarely benefits consumers and instead is always used to benefit companies. This is no different. I have negative trust in industry handling my data for my benefit.
