Basic Tenets of Speed Law
RADAR facilitates enforcement-for-profit. The only reason for RADAR is to extract money from safe drivers.
To All Pennsylvania Drivers: Letter the Editor:
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has before it anti-driver/anti-safety legislation, Senate Bill 607, granting RADAR to municipal police
The House needs to follow Basic Tenets of Speed Laws: Laws protect the public by regulating unreasonable or unsafe actions. Actions of a reasonable person should be legal. Most people (97%) drive in a safe and reasonable manner. Laws cannot be effectively enforced without the public consent and voluntary compliance.

Enforcement-for-profit-not-safety violates the basic tenets of speed laws by posting limits below a safe and reasonable speed turning drivers into “speeders” when they drive in a safe and reasonable manner, harming no one and a danger to no one.

Safety is facilitated by posting speed limits at the 85th Percentile Speed, the safest speed, as required by Pennsylvania traffic law, Title 75. Voluntary compliance with 85th Percentile Speed limits is high, with no need for aggressive enforcement: 85% of drivers aren't speeding when limits are posted using highway safety engineering standards.
When speed limits are posted properly there is no need for RADAR except to raise money. Tell your Representative to vote NO to Senate Bill 607 and any/every RADAR bill.
