New York City Major Michael Bloomberg saw his project of installing speed camera in the city being turned to ashes by the state legislature, but he isn’t going to just sit back and accept the defeat.
Bloomberg now wants to use public shaming to keep people from speeding, with the major using his radio show in Friday to suggest that the names and faces of speeders should be posted in a public place.

However, we’re wondering is this wouldn’t become a bonus for those who really brake the law - after, it can all be seen as a Need For Speed leadeboard (just like the one you see above), can’t it?

Our say: doesn’t seem like the best initiative, but hey, at least people who brake the law won’t be beheaded like in Saudi Arabia.
