The mere mention of photo radar can set motorists’ teeth gnashing, but what if a portion of the money collected from speeders went into a lottery for law-abiding drivers?

Lifted your foot off the pedal a bit?

Meet the Speed Camera Lottery designed by Kevin Richardson: Senior Producer at Nickelodeon by day and innovative traffic controller by night. “All the attention seems to go on the bad apples – the people who are breaking the law – and there’s really no attention given to the people obeying the law,” said Richardson in an interview with the Star. “In fact, I would posit that obeying the law is a pretty lonely endeavour.”

The police wouldn't want to give up a cut of their revenues. They're making too much easy cash.
