Meat,

You need cameras to catch people driving at unsafe SLOW speeds. I haven't been down there for years, but even then I could imagine what some person doing 50 would create behind him. Up here it seems the 18 wheelers like to drive side by side and block traffic while they chat on their radios. They will back traffic up behind them for miles and when you suddenly see a lane start to move you know a CHP car has been spotted and one of the trucks has pulled back into the slow lanes to let traffic by. This is as bad as the stuff you have, but is not called for as they can pass each other and go on at the speed limit. I have gotten to the point I like to see one of them pulled over and the CHP is doing it. We just don't have enough to patrol all the roads up here as it is so scattered out and there are long stretches of I-5 for one CHP officer to patrol.
