I'm amazed at the number of people who don't want to believe that traffic cameras are there to produce revenue and provide no other benefit. Cities that put red light cameras up tend to shorten the yellow light duration so that more tickets can be issued.

In Scottsdale where I live the city has traffic cameras all over the place to monitor speed and red light violations. The police department said accidents had been reduced but an independent audit of insurance claims showed that accidents had gone up. When a municipality rakes in millions of dollars and the camera companies make even more, what do you expect!

By all means let's test drivers more frequently. My Arizona driver's license is good for 10 years. Unbelieveable. I want to be tested every year if I ever reach 60.

Finally, as a former driver ed teacher, I know that the purpose of driver ed is to help the student get a license. Actually learning how to drive often doesn't happen.
