Once more Meathead proves his lineage.The person re-ending the car ahead is ALWAYS at fault.It's called following too close.

All the new stuff is IP based, no film required.

Speed cameras are big business down here. Australians contribute a significant ammount of money to the government coffers via "Speed Tax"

One of the projects I'm working on is developing the Police traffic monitoring systems for India. Most of the IP traffic is one way (from the camera to the police HQ) but they are looking at ways of better utilising the down stream traffic. One of the ideas is screens at intersections with traffic info displayed on them along with advertising to watch while you wait for the lights to change

There's more than one way to make a buck out of them.

Not always. A recent "road rage" type encounter on E470 in Colorado led to a murder conviction for the guy that got hit from behind. He was weaving in and out of traffic and brake-checked the victim after swerving in front of him.
Pretty extreme case, but traffic investigators are increasingly cautious about assigning fault in rear end collisions due to road rage and fake insurance cases.

Once more Cobrabill proves his single digit IQ number.

Reckless driving is often attributed to the lead driver in a rear-end collision on non-highway/non-freeway accidents.

Duh.

Your pal,
Meat.

Once again you show that you are a safe distance from genius.Your limited intellect is exhibited by the constant use of the word"duh".

The cases presented above(staged accidents & weaving in & out) are extreme and not the norm.
Not to mention they require witnesses to have the lead driver faulted.99.9% of the time the party that impacted the car ahead is in the "at fault" situation.
ALL states DMV codes are written to the effect that you shall maintain a "a safe distance" between your vehicles.*So,the driver that rear-ends someone is guilty of not maintaining a safe distance.PERIOD,END, PHUCKING STOP.This point isn't open to debate-as it's codified FACT.Anyone who disagrees probably says "duh" a lot.

*Meathead, i spelled it out for you so we wouldn't have to "hear" another "duh" from you.

NO state has ANY code "written to the effect."

Duh.

Untrue, incorrect, and shows an incredible lack of intelligence for believing that something so ludicrous is a "codified fact."

Duh.

I'm not sure how many people are talking to you in your head, but it's obvious by your use of the word "we" when describing yourself that it's a plural amount. Please be advised that all of the people who are speaking to you in your head are providing you with nonsense and incorrect data. You may wish to seek new imaginary friends.

I will continue to use the term "duh" as long as you continue to post in a manner that will inevitably lead you to a 'significant' runner-up position in the Darwin Awards, thus securing your place in history as another "what not to do."

Duh.

Your pal,
Meat.
