hoping this catches on, pretty please CA...

i like the fact that the money can only go into maintaining the speed cameras or into making the road safer. those are both things desperately needed, especially in LA.

accelerating because someone is tailgating you is not safe. the only safe response is to get away from them by changing lanes or pulling off the road. if it's impossible to move out of their way, gradually slow down. the faster you're both moving, the harder it is to avoid a crash and the worse a crash will be.
