Tailgaters Get Whats Coming In Az

[Dubh Aingeal]

Police in Arizona are using laser range finders to detect and ticket tailgaters. An officer can now measure not only the speed of passing vehicles but also how close they are to one another. The detectors described in the article are built by Laser Technology Inc., a company that provides lasers for traffic control, engineering, and even tactical/military solutions. The article mentions how tailgating is connected to many accidents and incidents of road rage."

About time damnit. Wish they would do it here.

Saw a 6 car pile up once and it wouldn't have happened if they had left a little room between themselves.....someone swerved and they didn't have time to stop.

The part of the article I thought was funny was that they're using these Lidar guns in Honk Kong...what...to ticket bicycles that are too close together?

I think in many states tailgating is a crime, just seems like another way to make money for the state. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone getting a ticket for tailgating though. It's like on of those little enforced crimes like jaywalking.

Speaking of which, don't some places have like.... jaywalking cameras to catch violators?
