Safe Speed

En english (mais ya google), très intéressant

According to French philosopher Emile Chartier, “Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when it is the only one you have.”
Chartier died in 1951, before les flics started using radar guns and fixed speed cameras to apprehend drivers exceeding the posted limit–
regardless of the actual danger these motorists pose to themselves or other road users.
Setting aside issues raised by indiscriminate government surveillance, Chartier would have been appalled by the single-minded fervor with which these devices have been applied.
If you're looking for the logical extreme of the "speed kills" idee fixe, the UK provides it.
Speed cameras are everywhere: real ones, fake ones, digital units, rear-facing, forward-facing, hidden, obvious, thousands of them.
What's more camera vans (a.ka. "Talivans") roam the highways and byways, nabbing speeders from highway overpasses, country roads and city streets.
The end result? No improvement in road safety and an enormous disaffection between the police and the population they're charged with protecting.
Although the English are a generally passive people who hold to the idea that "if you're not doing anything wrong you don't have any reason to worry," there comes a point where enough is enough.
Paul Smith of Safe Speed tells the tale.
