Driving on Oahu is no easy task. I drive more than 23,000 miles a year and I have no idea why my hair isn’t beyond white. The state is now ready to implement speeding cameras at intersections already equipped with red-light cameras.
I can only assume that everyone thought our politicians would remember the previous van camera fiasco. Do we not elect them to look out for us and not make our lives more difficult than it already is, including our daily commute around Oahu? Obviously they didn’t when they introduced House Bill 697.
Red-light cameras are great and should be at every intersection in the state. Speeding cameras, however, should be in school districts. Combining the two at intersections can only be called a money grab. The proposed fines are outrageous. Our politicians intend on funding the rail, no matter what it takes.
