Reply to comment by csmart01 in CT to experiment with speed cameras — the cops who don’t blink by Joansz
Do you see the crazy driving in the Netherlands that we see here? For example, I'm in the middle lane of I84 or I91 at the speed limit and cars crawl up my tail and pass going what seems to be well over 80 mph, crossing in and out of lanes. It's like they're looking for an accident.

Think that realy depends. Look at the mixmaster they put in the temp bypass and tried to slow everybody down to 45 from 85 for no reason. No workers anywhere near it and no reason to turn it into a money machine with automated cameras. Speeds came down to about 65 and were reasonable there. If your looking at doing this need a 99.9th percentile or something so it's only the oddball fastest person out over every 1k cars or something like that.

I’m in the Netherlands pretty often and they only use technology to enforce speeding and red lights. It’s a drag to find out a month later you got a ticket. They go so far as having “average speed zones” that can be up to 10km in length. Basically they tag you entering the zone and exiting and look at the time and if your average speed between the points exceeded the limit by 10km/hr you get a ticket. These really suck when they are lengthy between points because you forget your are in the zone. Basically I now drive with my cruise set to the exact limit :)

it's really nice, I've started keeping an eye out for it and I notice so many more things while I'm out that way

we can't have a society where the things anyone is allowed to do are only the things you're allowed to do while driving, that's insane. How will police stop sex while driving? How will police stop laser eye surgery while driving? better ban those too

These are only on the highway and I feel pretty confident in saying everyone should slow down regardless if there are people there. The road usually narrows or there is slightly more angled turn or a number of other reasons why slowing down in those zones is important.

Definitely worth a 30 minute drive. If you are going to Norwich the Sherman St bridge is out, you have to enter from the Backus Hospital end of Lafayette St.

Maybe only when they are actualy people not behind protective barriers. How many construction zones that have nobody or nearly so the majority of the time.

Not a true Philly, but probably the best steak and cheese sammie I've had in CT is the steak melt from Notch 8 in Bethel. It's incredibly tasty.

Has to be done in CT. No rush, cops don't do traffic patrol and there's a property tax on it in CT.

I don’t know, the bread is ok. Give me a better spot in the area.

Phillys in New Haven and Norwich is the spot. Owner is from Philly and knows what he’s doing. Plus the people who work there are the best, at least the New Haven location. I haven’t been to Norwich.

I mean, it hasn't done anything to impact the current amount of fentanyl flooding the country. 7k bags of fentanyl off the streets of hartford is a literal drop in the pan, lol. Country wide no matter how many busts and large scale drug operations we do, the overdose rate and addiction rates continue to soar, people continue to have unfettered access to fentanyl, and we continue to wage a useless war on drugs that's been nothing but an abject failure since the 70s.

Rep. Craig Fishbein, R- Wallingford, said those DUI penalties did little to address roadway fatalities caused by impaired driving.
“Unfortunately in many of these instances, somebody’s dead and you can’t bring them back,” Fishbein said. “So it’s not solace to me that, ‘Well they’re still going to get arrested for driving under the influence.’”
Well, the most problematic substance by a significant margin is alcohol, yet they don't give a shit about that here.
Just because you're decriminalizing personal amounts of mushrooms doesn't mean people will be buying them to drive on them now, lol. People who consume them now don't care about the legality regardless, and someone irresponsible enough to drive while under the influence of a psychedelic are going to do it regardless of the legal status of said drug. The entire point is to stop legally punishing people for possession of a substance that's less dangerous then many many others and has stated therapeutic effects. Republicans will never get behind this kind of stuff no matter how much it makes sense.

They give you a printed piece of paper that says "valid identification" on it. They just centralized the actual card production so they mail it out now.
