Speeding -Is Highway . Menace
Enforcement of speed limits does
not—necessarily lessen the number of
traffic accidents, but may reduce the
severity of accidents. This surprising
statement is a conclusion presented in
a report of the National Research Coun-
cil of 'Canada's Motor Vehicle Accident
Study `Group. ,
The;. report ,says speed enforce/tient
devices are usually hidden, and this,
raises resentment from the .majority ,
of the driving public, leading to "a.'
perpetuation of poor public relations by
enforcement agencies whose images
have been that ,of collection agencies
devoted to producing revenue, and ut-
terly divorced from the pursuit of safe-
. , r;"
So what? Obviously the police -are
not going to enhance their popularity
by enforcing the speed limits. We
would suggest that most motorists who
are ca %ght speeding are not" particu-
larly angry at the. police officer.: who
gives them the ticket — provided • lip
is courteous r-- but rather they are
angry at themselves for getting caught..
Just because motorists do not like be-
9
•
ing tagged for speeding is .rio reason
for the pblice to relax their efforts to
enforce, the speed limits. -
Perhaps radar devices should be
partially visible, says the report, and it
favors the now obsolete method of us-
ing timing tapes stretched across the
Highway to measure the motorist's
_speed. "Any driver crossing this :de.
vice while exceeding the. speed limit
deserves to be subjected to the letter
of the law, 'not on account of his speed
but because of his inattention!"
Why should the policG..advertise the
fact that there is a radar trap ahead?
Asit is, the alert motorist can in many
instances avoid being caught speeding
in radar traps. They are either warned
by on -coming motorists who flick their
lights "on and' off, or they can see the
radar equipment before entering its
rather Iimited range.
If the .enforcing of speed limits re-
duces the severity of accidents then the
police . should reasonably employ all
the resources they have at their dis-
posal to enforce them. (Stratford
Beacon -Herald).
