   Where you the same man that dismissed with casual disregard my suggestion to   
   have mandatory DRL's to prevent accidents such as the ones you claim the red   
   light cameras prevent?   
      
   Perhaps the red light cameras don't prevent many accidents after all:   
      
   "The results here mirror my earlier study.  The findings here are mixed and at   
   best, the RLCs have a slight reduction on accidents.  Despite the million of   
   dollars invested in RLCs and half a billion dollars in tickets, there is no   
   evidence that the RLCs    
   have had a significant safety benefit."
