Recently I read the statistics about driving on the streets of San Francisco, CA. Well, statistically, they are now much safer than used to be in 2000, though traffic fatalities spiked in 2006. According to a recent San Francisco Police Department year-end summary, unsafe speed is the number one reason for traffic, pedestrian injuries, and death. So, the police department needs about 20 new radar guns in order to keep safety on the roads. The number of collisions caused by speeding on the roads of San Francisco has gone down 28.43 percent since 2000, and fell 12.34 percent from 2005 to 2006. But the number of collisions for which police can’t determine a cause rose by 57.69 percent from 2005 to 2006.
So, when thinking about getting more hand-held police radar guns, all of us understand that it can only resolve a part of this huge problem. It means that the rest of it should be regulated by our morale and consciousness. We need to understand and realize that each one of us, even individually is capable of making this world better...
