IBTL thats some funny sh**.ok so you cant talk of illegal driving here i have learned and my thread was locked out i will make sure i wear my seatbelt today so my car doesnt lock me out too i was wondering on a tech level should someone invent a governer that controls speed around school zones,parks and playgrounds that sends a signal to your vehicle and only allows for safe speeds and people who need to get to places faster would avoid these areas making it safer for our children and future vette forum members just a thought cause my locked post was of speeding:bb

It would be easier to take the cameras from stoplight intersection, and place them around school zones, etc.

They do that around certain parts of washington. I got a warning in the mail about going 36MPH in a school zone. It had taken in picture of the rear end of my car.

Why "invent a governor" when cops will be happy to extort money from you? Follow the money...

Unfortunately, different school zones have different speed limits. I've seen some as high as 30 mph, although most around here have 15 mph limits. It's doubtful that a camera could be sure about what speed you were making.
