That’s crazy and it paints a terrifying picture for higher speeds with bigger vehicles. I’m glad that it wasn’t any worse for you.

Exactly

That is neat. People don’t tend to like cameras, for good reasons, sure. But if it could be done right and it helps save lives, why not.

Agreed - people must be held accountable. Perhaps if enough people are punished severely enough through legal action and fines, then maybe others will take it more seriously. The idea of paying a fine seems to worry people more than the risk of crashing.

Those are interesting points.

Option 1 - that might work with more awareness and accountability. Other US states have awareness campaigns, along with enforcement. These seem to help. Threat of legal actions or fines increase personal responsibility.

Option 2 - I think that would never happen. People would complain. “Passengers can’t use their devices. We have to talk to actual people in the car!”

Option 3 - that is an interesting idea.

This makes me wonder what else I can do with my free time. Besides saving money, if I stopped paying for all of these services, I would probably be more active and healthier. A part of me hopes that they increase prices again, and motivate people to be more active.
