Local teens claim pranks on county's Speed Cams: As a prank, students from local high schools have been taking advantage of the county's Speed Camera Program in order to exact revenge on people who they believe have wronged them in the past, including other students and even teachers.
[S]tudents duplicate the license plates by printing plate numbers on glossy photo paper, using fonts from certain websites that "mimic" those on Maryland license plates. They tape the duplicate plate over the existing plate on the back of their car and purposefully speed through a speed camera, the parent said. The victim then receives a citation in the mail days later.
BTW: Drivers either Homer or Mr Spock: There are two types of travellers characterised by TV's Homer Simpson and Mr Spock, a study suggests. [...]
"Mr Spock is the archetype of logic - he wants to be in possession of all the facts so he can make the best possible decisions when taking a trip," he said.
"Homer Simpson, on the other hand, thinks that making trips is no big deal. As long as things work out he has many other things on his mind besides 'optimising' his travel.
"Research shows that an individual's travel choices are bound up with many factors including their personality, habits, family structure and social networks."
