    Wouldn't it be easier to just nip the problem at the bud? Get rid of automobiles and roads entirely. Speeding isn't the only problem eliminating automobiles would solve.

    @Lukasz Fabis: yeah, it would also solve working. Of course, then the horse crap problem would skyrocket.

    As far as the privacy nuts go, check the Register article: satellite-based == GPS based to determine speed. It doesn't upload your position to a satellite or anywhere outside the vehicle.

    @stubbze:

    It's turning into some bizarre cross between 1984 and Judge Dredd. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before this is mandatory on newer cars sold to British subjects... and soon after older cars will be phased out to make sure everyone's compliant.

    @omgwtflolbbqbye: Everyone knows tin/aluminum foil doesn't work. It's what they WANT you to think. For good blocking, take the advice of professional anti-abduction hat makers:

    I'm glad that there is nothing else government can spend money on that is more violent and more horrific than speeding.

    @Justin Culmo: I live on a busy road that is very dangerous due to speeding. We have no police to enforce it, so nothing will slow people. I figure it will get more attention when someone dies and not before. I don't mind this or speed cameras, or GPS issued speeding tickets. Fuck it, slow down.

    @Goondocks: Try what others have. Police Car/Officer cut outs, standing at the intersection w/a hair dryer, putting up a billboard of a chick in a bikini, etc.... [www.adoptaschoolzone.com] [www.clickorlando.com] [theinspirationroom.com] [www.aip.org]
