Why does Connecticut refuse to have MARKED state police vehicles? MARKED vehicles would be a deterrent to both speeding & aggressive driving. It’s ridiculous. Wouldn’t it make sense to stop the behavior before tragedy strikes?
It doesn't matter if your going that fast. You wouldn't see the marked trooper with laser anyway. Maybe a laser jamer would slow cars down. But a smart cop would know you have one.
Connecticut should incorporate pay on the spot for moving violations. If you want to fight it and win you get your fine back. If you claim you can’t pay your vehicle is towed at your expense , you are taken to the nearest police department and before you get your vehicle the fine needs to be payed then you go and pay the impound fee. Again if you fight and win you get reimbursed for the fine and tow. Wisconsin did a similar program and overnight drivers learned real fast what was going on and adjusted their poor driving habits.
@@johnnybob2591 The innocence or guilt isn’t established until action is taken. Same as a ticket. You chose to pay if you admit guilt or you get a court date to have it expunged. The program had a remarkable effect in Wisconsin and if you don’t drive lawless you have no worries. If you haven’t recognized how these pieces of shit are endangering all of us or if you don’t care there isn’t much else I can suggest. What solutions would you suggest?
The ones that are extremely dangerous are the drivers who drive at these excessive speeds AND weave in and out changing lanes and cutting off other drivers. Beyond scary!
Hope they are not like in WV, if they know the speeder, or a driver who runs a red light, totals another car, they will falsify the report. From experience , I know. Guy ran red light, high rate of speed, totaled my 2024, knocking it 60+ feet, yet no one was found at fault.
You know what’s dangerous where a cop darts out of moving highway traffic trying to come out of the hiding spot. I had this happened to me and had to slam on my breaks. Good thing nobody was behind me. What kills? Reckless driving changing lanes constantly.
in 2 months, (4600 tickets x $300) = 1,380,000 or 700k per month because safety. flow of traffic = 65mph-75mph or 70mph average 87mph = 17mph over flow of traffic is too dangerous. Chasing a vehicle down at a speed over 87mph is not too dangerous.
@@russs250 Simpler solution is to not drive, but then if you're sitting on a bench and someone sprints past you it would be the same speed difference as that scary 17mph. Maybe the best solution would be a padded room. But that wouldn't work either, because with none of that sweet ticket revenue, who would I call when someone came into my padded room? they would have to cut half the department based on the economics alone. Maybe the simplest solution is to keep up the same system because the cops need the speeders to fund the sectors of the department that serve and protect when you need it.
CT speed limited too slow 55-65 made for a car from the 50s-60s and those cars didn't have seat belts or any of the modern safety feature a modern car has for example airbags that wasn't a thing you hit a barrier you head is crashing into a metal steering wheel. Anyways modern cars are build for speed and have perfect handling but thing is fifty percent of CT people can't drive. Death gripping a steering wheel at thirty miles per hour is some real skill
Everywhere is a hotspot.
Excellent!

Because they can catch the idiots who drive recklessly easier. If cops are visible people will temporarily stop speeding/breaking laws.

Innocent before proven guilty?

LIDAR is easy to beat in court. most officers don’t know how to properly check the device.
Well good luck with that

It’s SPEED mostly, A-HOLE!!!
Thats a tall ticket for a little smokey😂
87 is reckless driving. Not speeding. Hello?.

Simple solution don’t speed.

Where?? Where are they?? I encounter speeders every single day on every CT road!! It’s a liberal Democrat decision to make CT roads dangerous!!
Lobster rolls and speeding that's what we do.
Highway pirates strike again
