Operation Safe Arrival 2009

Pigs in Space are back! I remember they did this years ago. They had thick white lines painted across the road, kinda like the dog's rope limit line in the Foghorn Leghorn 'toons. The lines were spaced 5 or 10km apart or something like that- I don't remember the specifics. Speed = Distance/Time, so knowing the distance between the lines and the speed limit, it's a simple matter of timing a vehicle between the lines. If you cover the distance too quickly, you cop a fine. Interesting that they say they're targeting fatigue though. Let's hope they do, and not just go for the easy revenue.

Also interesting that when they used fixed wing aircraft in this manner last time around, they soon shit-canned it due to the cost involved of running the aircraft vs. the revenue raised by it. Hopefully history will repeat itself and this won't last too long.
