Why do citizens who abide by the law through the course of their lives stop doing so once they get behind the wheel of their car? Perhaps increasing the fines to a level where it will actually impact them is what’s needed. Right now the fine for breaking the speed limit by 10% is only about $40. Let’s make it $400. This will dissuade many from doing it, and for those who don’t care the collection of the increased fines will feed city coffers.
And if the majority of drivers start to obey the speed limit, those who don’t will become the rarity and stick out – easily identifiable, and catchable!
Same goes for all the other “little” violations that people make every day like failing to signal, illegal lane changes, stopping in the middle of an intersection, failing to pull over for an emergency vehicle, parking in a no parking zone, etc, etc.
