That makes me think of another problem with car culture, that's kind of the mirror image of the phenomenon you're describing...
Like you said, a lot of people just forget driving is dangerous. But for people who haven't forgotten, we just get used to living at a certain level of life-or-death stress, for possibly hours a day, when we're in our cars. I don't think it's very conducive to overall happiness.
Don't get me wrong, driving is a really easy game, and it's fun to play sometimes, but the consequences of slipping up and losing can be pretty rough.

Too much hurry and distraction. Driving a car so simplifies modern life that few regard driving as a deadly serious activity rife with potential terrifying consequences. Every message from manufacturers is happy, dandy, freedom and power themed. Car culture has us all conditioned to overlook death and destruction daily and internalize it as an acceptable result of cars everywhere. As a pedestrian, biker and transit rider, it’s infuriating.

I Don’t care to argue those points. Let’s say they’re all true. At least in those cases you’ll get to face your accuser. When you get a ticket from a computer they don’t even know who was driving.

Forreal, mofos will ride your ass at 75 mph, pass you, and then do 65 mph once they get in front of you

I wrote to his office and my state senate and house reps and told while I’ll never vote for the fascist party I may very well become a single issue voter in Dem primaries for defenders of civil liberties if this garbage continues.

Ah! Your sense of risk is all out of whack. Compared to the number of miles we drive, driving is quite safe and like I said, until very recently, it was getting less deadly every year. Take a look at these charts.

The 46,000 annually produced dead will be tracked by death certificates. No privacy. Fyi.

Just a note on this, the bigger concern is insurance. If you need to file a claim, they’ll consider this fraud and deny coverage. You’re basically uninsured right now. Rear-ended? You’re paying that out of pocket.

These are not cameras in the traditional sense. They are vehicles (typically white SUV's) they place in an area that has a camera on them and if you are speeding in a work zone it takes a picture and mails you a ticket. It's more like a red light camera. If they are like the ones I have seen (they are used in work zones in MD & WV) you will know without a doubt you are getting a ticket because when they take the picture there is a noticeable flash. I don't think they're a bad idea at all as they will deter speeding through a work zone which helps keeps the workers safe.

Probably schizophrenia. For some reason the disease tends to have a strong correlation between religion and technology. For example, they often report to have a chip implanted in their brain or radio waves affecting their brain. They often report seeing or communicating with angels or God. Somehow, they are entangled in this web between good and evil forces. So they try to connect the dots and make sense of it all and wind up with ramblings like this page

Totally incorrect. Respectable normal people will judge you adversely for it. Outside of the south, it's usage invariably correlates with dumber/less professional/less responsible people.
Oh and I noticed you even skipped 'do' in your headline. Even more pathetic.

Pepe's used to be the best. I think Modern is better now. John & Marias in east Haven is amazing too.
