Vote against bill banning Florida's red-light cameras

I am writing in support of keeping the red-light cameras at the various intersections in Florida. Not only do I support them, I would agree that more be installed.

There were two men killed at U.S. 301 and 63rd Avenue East on the morning of Feb. 3 after they ran the red light and plowed into a trailer truck. The camera might not have stopped this accident, but there are many more accidents that would have been prevented.

If drivers think the cameras are causing rear-end crashes, then they were driving too close and that is also against the law.

Please vote against this bill.

Thank you for your consideration.
