Swedish Speed-Camera Pays Drivers to Slow Down

IN JANUARY, KEVIN Richardson won Volkswagen’s The Fun Theory, a contest for ideas to make obeying speed-limits fun. Now, less than a year later, his entry is in use in Stockholm, Sweden.

Is it possible to make road-safety fun? Yes, it turns out. Kevin’s idea is both smart and simple. As well as ticketing you when you run through a speed-radar too fast, Kevin’s “Speed Camera Lottery” also notices you when you come in at or under the speed-limit. It then automatically enters you in a lottery. And here’s the really smart part: the prizes come from the fines paid by speeders.

This would probably never work in the U.S, where speeding fines and red-light cameras exist as revenue streams for the police rather than as deterrents to bad driving, but the Swedish National Society for Road Safety, which worked with Kevin, has found it to be a success. The average speed of cars passing the camera dropped from 32km/h before the experiment to 25km/h after.

Alberta town's photo radar lottery rewards safe drivers
More than $10,000 to be paid to drivers who keep below the speed limit

An Alberta mountain town located west of Calgary is using photo radar not just to ticket speeders, but to capture good driving behaviour and reward it with a gift certificate.

Beginning March in Canmore, licence plates of vehicles recorded by RCMP photo radar going under the speed limit will be entered in a draw. Every week, one driver will win a $250 gift certificate for a Canmore business of their choice.

Joanna McCallum, a town councillor, says it’s a good initiative.

"For the people that are actually obeying the law, and not speeding, this is an opportunity to reinforce that great behaviour," McCallum said.

Canmore resident Andrew Ewan agrees.

"I think it's great to be actually not so scared of a policeman following you all the time, going 'Oh, what am I doing wrong?’ You could be caught for doing something right," Ewan said.

The town estimates it will collect more than a $100,000 in photo radar fines next year and plans to use more than $10,000 of that money on the draw.

Look I appreciate the few good cops out there who are in it for the right reason,

Can we stop with this bullshit? MOST cops are in it for the right reason. The FEW shit bags just destroy the reputation of ALL because it makes for good media clickbait

Kind of like how MOST black people are great people but the media focuses on the FEW shit bags and violence sells rap CDs so people stereotype ALL

Just like how most Muslim's are great people, but the narrative focuses on the few shit bags to stir up hate.
 
Aren't most muslims anti-homosexual rights and anti-women's rights?

Aren't most Mexicans illegal?

If think that's true, I think you haven't spent much time around people outside your little circle.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_in_Islam

Extreme prejudice remains, both socially and legally, in much of the Islamic world against people who engage in homosexual acts. In Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen, homosexual activity carries the death penalty.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In others, such as Algeria, Maldives, Malaysia, Qatar, Somalia and Syria, it is illegal.[12][13][14][15] Same-sex sexual intercourse is legal in 20 Muslim-majority nations (Albania, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Guinea-Bissau, Lebanon, Tunisia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Mali, Niger, Tajikistan, Turkey, West Bank (State of Palestine), and most of Indonesia (except in Aceh and South Sumatra provinces, where bylaws against LGBT rights have been passed), as well as Northern Cyprus.[16][17] In Albania, Tunisia, Lebanon, and Turkey, there have been discussions about legalizing same-sex marriage.[18][19] Homosexual relations between females are legal in Kuwait, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, but homosexual acts between males are illegal.[16][20][21][22]

Most Muslim-majority countries and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have opposed moves to advance LGBT rights at the United Nations, in the General Assembly or the UNHRC. In May 2016, a group of 51 Muslim states blocked 11 gay and transgender organizations from attending 2016 High Level Meeting on Ending AIDS.[23][24][25][26] However, Albania, Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone have signed a UN Declaration supporting LGBT rights.[27][28] Albania provides LGBT rights protections in the form of non-discrimination laws, and discussions on legally recognizing same-sex marriage have been held in the country.[29]Kosovo as well as the (internationally not recognized) Muslim-majority Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus also have anti-discrimination laws in place.
 
And what kind of Equality is forcing women to cover up?

They have a terrible track record, yet they are wonderful people aren't they?
 
They did this on my route out in SE. I love it. All the knucklehead Russians in their BMW's and Benz's that swerve through a 35mph zone at 60 are getting their picture taken. Where I'm at on SE 122nd is horrible.

That's cuz u drive slow as fuck yo

sigh.
typical hypocritical american, & western ideology.
I'm not going to get into a debate with you on this. Only will say two things.
1. Wiki is a source that should be took with a grain of salt.
2. People who follow western msr are very hypocritical. As just like the extremists that have declared holy war. All people who follow western msr pick and choose what they want to follow in the bible.

So Islam tolerates homosexuality and views men and women as equals. Got it.

First off America doesn't view men and women as equals.

From the sounds of it, it doesn't seem like you realize just like Christianity, Islam has different sects. Even different sects from the more well known by westerners.(you know the ones you can easily google)
You are throwing so much nonsense and double standards out here that it's just not worth my time to list them all.
TLDR your hogwash media/google driven narrative hurts progress. But just like one of my two grandfathers(who was born in the late 20's) will never change in thinking all black people are n~~~~~ and need someone to own them. You too will never change due to lack of exposure.
Therefore this talking at one another is pointless.
Funny thing is, I know a family you'd question if they were Muslim/Islam or not.. You know due to respecting homosexuals, women, etc. You know Western Ideals.

So the answer is no.
 
A sure sign of a local government running out of money. Maybe they are raising funds to open up a Bureau of Feline Cyber Bullying Awareness or another much needed government program.

Sharia law is great.

The majority of muslims in the world want it to be the law of the world.

It must be good, if so many people want it right?

Insert one of many mainstream memes here that has an american talking about the majority of muslims. When their only exposure to such is media.

You didn't imply anything. This is what you posted.


you're ignorant as fuck, and have no clue what you're talking about.

I said:

"It's almost like you're ignorant as fuck, and have no clue what you're talking about"

And since he was trying to tell me that I have no "exposure" to muslims, besides what he thinks I see in the "media". I was right in my implication, seeing as how, I've been to multiple Muslim nations in the Middle East, that just so happen to practice sharia law.

So like I said, I implied he was ignorant, and he implied that I was ignorant.
 
And even if I flat out called him ignorant. How is that an insult?

I'm saying he's ignorant about my life experiences, and what countries/cultures I've been in/around.

How is that an insult.

Hey guess what, you're all ignorant as fuck about my life.

Shocker.

Good talk.

Maybe whenever you get that dick out of your mouth, you can go fuck yourself with it.
