    That is an insurance industry’s & governments’ problems, those traffic related (banned speed & which includes Red Light) cameras are just cash cows from poorer people, that has to drive, to divert the buy to Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners.

      Then tickets should be income proportional, and of course all while speed cameras shouldn’t replace making streets safer/slower and dieting

          Become a better driver then, and put down the damn phone. There is zero chance of “accidentally breaking the law” if you are actually paying attention to driving. If that is your excuse, you are a bad driver.

        Maybe, you do not live within a life that has less resources (public transportation comes on time or at all, traffic lights that work, traffic lights timing works & Etc.) than average person, less traffic (affects the previous resources being delivered properly) & from your profile not disadvantaged by living in The USA. All three of those affect me, here in South Fl., if I had a job to get to under those above conditions, plus having take of so many responsibilities at home- 2-elderly roommates, would probably cause me to speed.
