Some People Actually Like The New Traffic Law

November 15, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

A blogger is even saying that he can see the difference:

I’m loving the new traffic laws in place. The last week on the roads has been safe, less stressful and quite funny to watch. No one seems to dare try to go over 80km/h or cross red lights due to the new radars placed throughout the country.

I wonder how much that will last. As I said earlier, some aspects of this law are unfair and unenforceable. I think people will eventually forget about the radars and overwhelm the system to a point that the police will even stop trying. I could be proven wrong but 80 Km/h on a highway is not a reasonable speed limit.
