I just got my 3rd ticket from a speed camera in 5 weeks. I'm not an unsafe driver; I've never been in an accident and I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in almost 15 years. I've always driven carefully because my first memory was almost getting killed by a drunk driver. My first ticket in Portland was a few weeks ago when someone flew past me right as the camera snapped and for some reason I was cited. The second time I was legitimately speeding because I was lost as hell and made the grave mistake of assuming a 5 lane highway had a speed limit higher that THIRTY MILES AN HOUR. And just fucking now I was caught while passing a slow moving vehicle in the right lane that was also blocking my view of the speed camera. That's $510 worth of tickets that I can't afford, the week of Christmas. What the hell. I guess there goes my stimulus already. The PPD must be raking it in right now after we voted to defend the police, lol. Where is this money going? Definitely not to prevent crime on my street, where there are shootings, theft, and arson pretty much weekly. Fuck speed limits...when is this city going to start feeling more safe?
