Speeders and Traffic Cameras
Any Nashville car accident lawyer worth his/her salt will tell you that cities and counties all over Tennessee are serious about reducing car accidents. Many towns are going hi-tech and using traffic cameras to enforce the law. A recent report from Oak Ridge points out that in the first month of operation more than 4000 traffic violations have been issued through using the traffic safety cameras. That’s alot of points going on peoples’ records, and those points can cause a suspension of driving privileges (to see Tennessee’s point system, click here).
The hot spot was at the intersection of Illinois Ave. and Robertsville Rd. that accounted for 3,942 of the violations. The majority of the violations were for speeding with red-light violations coming in second. Chief of Police David Beams warned the public that the police are serious about preventing car accidents and that the cameras will soon be installed at school zones.
As an experienced Nashville car accident attorney I can tell you that these communities are serious about reducing car crashes in Tennessee and that these hi-tech devices are a good way to start.
