Thats a huge difference between 30mph over or +100mph. Factor in a possible speed zone, and $2000 is an unbelievable fine. Did anybody see the end of the video where the truck just slams into the speed camera, are these drivers not paying attention? Oregon is anal about speeding
Looks like the speed reading trailer was just parked in a lane.
It wasn't sitting in a median, or on the shoulder.
Normally when a lane is closed, they start the cones aways back and angle them across the lane, making you either merge, stop, or start running over cones. Doesn't look like that was the case here.
I'm not saying the driver wasn't a DA for wrecking, I'm just saying the setup of the sign may have contributed to it.
At any rate, I'm all for slowing down in construction zones when workers are present.
