Interesting and careful use of language.
Did they really mean that it will reduce the severity of accidents?
Could be true if the accidents are ALL due to inattention and speed.
However no ment ... |

Why not wait for new tech being tested which has real safety capability to identify use of mobile phones and 'tailgating'?

More likely to encourage them to get the sign to turn on!

Presuming its an older Gatsco type, were 2 photos presented or just a radar measurement I wonder? Also was any register ... |
