What ever happened to the mantra, if you are not doing anything illegal then you have nothing to worry about? I moved here from Baltimore where there are speed cameras. If the speed limit is 35, then you could go 46 and not trigger the camera. In Delaware, everything is strictly enforced. You get used to going 10 mph over the speed limit. So I got a strictly enforced ticket when we were house shopping. I prefer the speed cameras to strictly enforce because who doesn’t go 5 mph over the speed limit? Speed cameras also enable the police to track perpetrators of crimes. Also, cameras would cut down on deadly traffic stops. Again, if you are not doing something illegal …
Route 1 is not the Autobahn in Germany, for now we believe in speed limits.
