This is the best. You trigger a red light because you're speeding, and everybody around you just glares at you. Including the old woman walking on the side of the street.

It's like public shaming.

Thanks bud, because of you, now we all have to sit at this red light and wait. Good job.

That works so much better than the hidden speed camera ticket I get in the mail 6 months later, when I'm not even in Portugal anymore.

One is about slowing you down, the other is about revenue.

The power of an angry glare from an old Portuguese woman (dressed in black) doesn't work in the US.
