The Fun Theory Works!

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty Canada - Brokerage

Be angry with me if you wish, but I, Susan Emo , am one of those people who does not believe that the posted speed limit is merely a suggestion! I set my cruise at the posted limit and you can enjoy sign language all you like, but I'm not going to speed to keep you happy! When I saw this creative way to reduce speeding on the roads I just had to share it with you!

Speed cameras were designed to photograph and ticket speeding cars but what if they also photographed cars that obey the speed limit?! Those drivers are then entered in a lottery for a chance to win money.

What a concept: rewarding POSITIVE behaviour!!!

I'm hoping it will arrive here becase IT WORKS!

Hey Laura -  wouldn't that be fantastic!!  I'm sick of seeing people race past me only for me to be beside them at the next stop light, lol.

GREAT post! My favorite part - I set my cruise at the posted limit and you can enjoy sign language all you like, but I'm not going to speed to keep you happy! There are so many people getting killed from driving and not following the law. It is a very scary thing. Thank you for posting this!

Susan, I think it's a brilliant idea. I noticed that this video is from Europe. It reminded me about one guy who was originally from Germany and he drove us around Birmingham, Al in his Mercedes. What I remember and this is what I tolled to my son who just started driving, this guy was driving 2 miles below speed limit all the time!

Susan, loved the concept and the video. It would be a novel idea to recognize those doing right, I hate those aggressive horn blowing, tailgating, speeders!

Michael - it is a scary thing and those that do it seem to take a perverse pleasure in it and are proud that they do!

Susan, What did Barbara Todaro teach us about assuming?  You assume I drive fast because I said I won't be behind you anytime soon?  I live in Chicago, you live in Ontario, thus I won't be behind you anytime soon.  ;) Gotch ya!
