Remember when this story was published in the Journal about using a radar gun on a sledding hill? It was all just informative right? Cops would never actually hand out a ticket for sledding too fast... right? Wrong:
Skiers and snowboarders who love the unrestricted thrill of hurtling down alpine pistes on a sunny winter’s day are about to be stopped in their tracks.Switzerland is introducing speed cameras on the slopes to try to reduce the increasing number of accidents. The first such nationwide controls will treat skiers like cars on the motorway. Speeders will be caught with hand-held radar devices carried by hidden personnel.
For your own safety of course. Will the nannies ever stop finding things to protect us from?
