STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Years ago, my brother was enraged by drivers who blew through a stop sign in front of his house, so he set up a camera to document them. Same thing happened in the Italian village of Acquetico. Residents complained of speeding cars, so the mayor set up a camera. And in two weeks, it recorded more than 58,000 violations. In a town with a speed limit equaling 31 mph, the worst offender was driving 84.
After just two weeks, Acquetico's cameras caught more than 58,000 speeding incidents, according to Italian media. That's a hefty number for a community of about 120 residents.
