More red-light camera corruption …
According to autoblog.com, Italy is investigating a traffic engineer, 63 chiefs of police and 39 local governments for cheating citizens out of $1.86 million in traffic fines. Allegedly, these defenders of public safety cut the yellow-light time in half in order to increase the number of motorists who would get caught by red-light cameras. In more than 300 municipalites.
Hats off to the Italians for style, however—check out the item’s photo of an Italian traffic signal. Why, it’s so hot, it could … stop traffic.
