Let’s See… 15 Miles… In One Hour…

A letter in Friday’s Camden Courier Post speaking out against a proposed rush hour seat belt checkpoint:

Drivers need a wake up call? There is nothing wrong with a seatbelt checkpoint. But rush hour at a major trouble spot is not the time or the place to do it.

Drivers in a last-minute rush? Exactly how much time should one allow for a 15-mile drive? If it takes an hour to go 15 miles, the driver is traveling at an average speed of 4 mph, a lot less than the 65 mph speed limit on Route 55.

We are entitled to a reasonable expectation of a safe and timely arrival at work in the morning. There are plenty of unavoidable occurrences that happen that must be planned for, but a traffic jam caused purposely and with absolutely no regard for the majority of law-abiding, seatbelt-wearing and not last-minute commuters is just wrong.

Hey, new math.
