I'd rather put up with the speeding than aasking for the government to intervene.

The speeding itself isn't the problem. The increased risk of accidents is - and since this is around a school, it involves young children.

"I'd rather put up with the speeding" implies you don't have kids and you only consider the noise nuisance, not the safety risk. Very self-centered.

Government is already intervening, you think people are going at only 46 kmh because of goodwill?

Said someone living in a comfortable country with a stable government.

You can’t seriously believe this right?

  • There is optimum level of state intervention. IMO monitoring people with cameras for speeding is a step too far.

    I bet you are the same type of person who values software privacy haha

    • As others have pointed out, you are essentially advocating for non-enforcement of speed limits.

      Which feels an arbitrary line to draw. What about other road rules? Driving on the right side? Using unregistered vehicles?

      Countries like India, China and South East Asia, have much less enforcement of these rules… Would you call their driving experience optimal?

      Not sure what you mean by values software privacy. I don’t really have a view on it? So no, I don’t think I am.

    • You sound like someone who doesn't have young children who cross a road where the road users should be respecting the speed limit set deliberately low because it's right in front of an elementary school, but instead a significant proportion of them are Michael Schumacher wannabes who need to drive everywhere at 60km/h.

Do you think the government does not track your car already?

Much easier to lecture private citizens about privacy than the government ha.
