Alabama Governor unveils new zero tolerance speeding policy and cameras

New Alabama Highways Zero Tolerance Speed Camera

With the Alabama highway death toll continuing to increase, this will be the first

year that Zero Tolerance Speed Cameras will be used.


The new cameras look a bit different than normal speed surveillance cameras.


I have included a photo so that you will know what to look for as you're traveling

Around the great state of Alabama. Make sure you do not speed when approaching one.

Please take this warning seriously as these new devices offer no warnings
or second chances.

Happy motoring!

ha ha...i was looking for the place to post humor, when i opened this...

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

They will be too busy text messaging while they are speeding to ever know what hit 'em...

No, it's the stress from being the only people required to be pollitically correct.


I'd like to see how the first court cases on the photo radar go. Most states hold that they violate the constitution. There is no probable cause established to activate the radar. That's why officers have to certify to operate them.

I got nailed by a speed camera in D.C. and just got the ticket and pics in the mail yesterday. I was pretty bent out about it. Now, after seeing that zero tolerance camera, I'm glad it was just a normal camera that got me.!!! lol.

Maybe it's time for the folks in Alabama to elect a new governor if they don't like the speed traps. Don't gripe kick them OUT and make them have to hustle a living like the rest of us and re-elect a working man in there.

i buy & sell scrap stuff, and few months ago, was about 75lbs of belt stuff, where they done training or something.
no brass, just buckets of the belt

i sold it all to a buddy, he thought it was cool

i basically quit speeding. i do 5 or 10 over, and thats about it.

last ticket i got was $190. calmed me down some

LOL...thats a good one Rick. It's a little more inconspicuous than a .50cal or M60 machine gun nest on the road side.

Not in Texas. We have express checkout lanes on our death row system. And we use them.
