Remember when we warned that red-light cameras actually cause MORE accidents?

Well the only part we were wrong about is that they are also more costly insurance-wise than accidents at other intersections without red-light cameras. Johnny has raised a stink to the level people in certain offices detest him over this issue. He sure wishes New Jersey residents, Jersey City residents in particular would finally STAND UP to our current administration and tell them no more and pull down the ones they have installed now.

Hey, it's YOUR safety kids.

If you won't listen to Johnny will you listen to the New Jersey Department of Transportation?

A New Jersey Department of Transportation analysis of two dozen intersections that have had the automated traffic cops for at least a year found that accidents — particularly rear-end crashes — have increased, and the collisions are more costly.

Then there is this from a representative of one of the companies making a killing with your money FOR DOING NOTHING, they EXPECTED these accidents:

"Driver behavior doesn’t change overnight, but the findings in this report are largely consistent with programs around the country," said Charles Territo...

Consistent, so costly accidents go up for at least a year? That's nice isn't it? 

Read more on this dalliance with your safety and your insurance rates and then please contact your local elected representatives and tell them no more and get rid of the cameras already installed.
