TRAFFIC CAMERA

A man was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit, even though he knew that he was not speeding.... Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. Now he began to think that this was quite funny, so he drove even slower as he passed the area again, but the traffic camera again flashed. He tried a fourth time with the same result. He did this a fifth time and was now laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past, this time at a snail's pace...

Two weeks later, he got five tickets in the mail for driving without a seat belt..

You can't fix stupid.

I can see red light or speed, but HTF does the camera tell whether or not you have a seat belt to begin with?

If they can see you on a cellphone sending a text, they should be equipped with a 50-cal instead of a flash.

That'll be when my Windshield Replacement biz takes off, I'm sure. Right now there's no market for bulletproof windshields, sadly.

They do in Holland. I have no idea how they can tell whether or not its on if you're wearing, say, a black jacket.

I'm a proud Dutchman but I will say... Holland really, really sucks for driving.
