Who thought speeding was such a big issue. Maybe they should just raise the limits and avoid sending a rocket into space?

The system is low cost because the ticket revenues will offset it.

How can it read plates from the outer space angle? You can bet your ass I'll be "frenching" in my license plate about 6 inches into my bumper to avoid that.
