According to Chiu, the use of speed detection systems is currently being used in as many as 140 cities nationwide and studies have shown they can curb speeding and reduce traffic injuries and fatalities by as much as 58 percent. One thing we all know is that speed kills. It s the leading factor in fatal collisions and it s basic physics.

At a certain point, we have to say enough is enough because these deaths are completely, utterly preventable.
