Certainly not the mountains. After a fairly successful week of driving around the state chasing DPS peaks, I came home to a letter from the AZ Department of Public Safety that I have been somewhat of a public nuisance, and the cost of driving 67mph in a 55mph zone is a whopping $181. It might have helped if I clued in that the state has these photo radar detectors all over the Phoenix area, but, well, I was clueless.
So my question is, do people just suck it up and pay these things? Seems like highway robbery, literally, and I find it disconcerting that my own state of CA would cooperate with such tactics by providing vehicle and owner ID. And should I buy stock in the company that makes the Redflex Smartcam Mobile Speed Van System? Because it seems like these things could pay for themselves in about an hour's time.
