Randy Cassingham's Bonzer Web Sites of the Week: Recognizing Interesting Sites that are Beyond the Microsoft/AOL-Time Warner/Media Megalith

National Motorists Association

The NMA "is committed to defending your driving freedoms." Like what? They were the lead organization that helped get the old 55 mph national speed limit repealed. They oppose red light cameras, which have been proven to be about revenue enhancement, not accident prevention (they actually cause more accidents). Is there a "black box" in your car recording how you drive? Who gets to see that data -- you? the police? There's advice on how to fight unfair traffic tickets and much more.
