I have to admit, having never driven with photo radar set up, I don't know what the fuss is about.

On my Hamilton-to-Mississauga round trip every day, I do 100 in the right-hand lane the whole way. I see all kinds of nonsense on the roads - excessive speed, dangerous driving like tailgating, sudden stops, weaving, no signals, cutting people off - and don't get it. If I drive 110 km/h, I get to work maybe 3 minutes faster. But, I burn more gas doing so. These fools who treat the road like their personal racetrack seem to be the ones complaining about it.

I think we should seriously look at bringing back the tools to make the roads safer. Increased police presence on the roads, with more stringent enforcement, coupled with tools like photo radar should make them safer.

I think to whenever I go to Niagara Falls or Buffalo, NY - almost as soon as you hit the Interstate you see state police with speed traps set up, or a cruiser on the shoulder with someone pulled over. Those stretches of the I-90/I-190, at least in my experience, are a lot safer speed- and driver-wise.
