[QUOTE="Nelson Atwell, post: 853773, member: 59102"] We have traffic cameras all over Europe. Poland has them everywhere. About 100 yards before the camera there is a warning of a camera. I've been told most of the enclosures don't have cameras at all, and that the cameras are moved at random from place to place, since the government can't afford enough cameras to fill every box. One guy at work has a very fast motorcycle. He speeds right through them, since there are no plates on the front of motorcycles, they can't identify him. He sees the flash, but he said very few of the boxes here have cameras. He goes as fast as 200 mph so the police have no chance of catching him in their broken down vehicles, and the police are notorious to be slow to respond to even the most dire emergencies here. It is like the wild west on the roads here and it is not unusual to have over 50 deaths on a holiday weekend in a country about the size of Ohio and where only 10% of the people own cars. Last Easter's death toll approached 100. I drive a lot here, but I am always watching for the ignorant fools. If some day I stop posting here, you will know why. ;) [/QUOTE]
