Speed Cameras are a Scam & Driver "Safety" Courses

About this episode

The episode discusses the revenue-driven nature of speed cameras and critiques driver safety courses.

Speed cameras are everywhere, and they're not about safety; they're about revenue. A Portland man took justice into his own hands to handle them. Plus, we break down the driver "safety" courses they make you take to get your ticket dismissed, and why the information they teach is somehow even more insulting than the ticket itself.
