True it may not be popular, but I've long thought it to be a more cost efficient and equitable way to collect revenue from drivers. Even though it would probably work out more expensive for me.Quote:

So does mine - it's constantly 'dinging' to either tell me I'm about to exceed the speed limit, or there is change of speed limit coming up.Quote:
