    Wanna know a little secret about how you can beat the system?

    QUIT DRIVING LIKE A GODDAMN DUMBASS!!!

    Holy mother****ing **** how could something so ****ing simple be unknown to mass society? Plan on stopping for red lights in the future. Plan on driving the speed limit in the future. That can be your way of "sticking it to the man." **** that it may save a life or two. Goddamn idiots, man. Later, QD.

    wow thank you for your infinite knowledge. I have 0 points on my license. I do not speed nor do I run red lights. But that is besides the point I was making. To believe that the reasoning behind traffic enforcement is for our better good or "to save a life or two" is moronic. Stupid people are going to kill themselves and others regardless of whether it is behind the wheel of a 3000lb piece of metal or shooting up some place. Local governments realize that. But by enforcing traffic laws vehemently they can bring in alot of income without public outcry that arises from taxation. Maybe I shouldve used large font and caps so you'd understand

    I'm going to have to continue to disagree on this. Yes, income is one reason, but if you don't think it's also for safety, then you sir are moronic. Sure, people still break the law, but you better believe that there would be a lot more people speeding and running red lights if it wasn't so strictly enforced, hence resulting in many more accidents and deaths. I'm glad that these laws are in place so driving in Atlanta wouldn't require an armored vehicle with a snow plow.

    it pretty much does already. I can honestly say it makes my day to see someone driving like an ass get blue lighted.

    They've been enforcing it for how long now? And have people stopped speeding, running red lights, etc... Obviously it can't be working if courtrooms are filling to the brink every month with violators. And generally if something isnt working you change it. When I lived in Pa it was rare to see a speed trap or someone pulled over, and certainly not a camera, yet somehow they managed to not have completely vehicular anarchy. It may have changed but last i knew only state cops were even allowed to use radar/laser up there.

    Obviously you can't understand logic. No one on here has said anything about speeding/traffic violations coming to a halt. The actual point is(yes someone else made a point) that if there were NO policing the roadways, that there would be a huge increase in the aftermaths of dangerous driving. It's really not hard if you really think about and stop going down every avenue trying to make me look wrong or stupid. Later, QD.

    Wow, you have got you some logic there my friend. So in your little world, if something doesn't work right away you throw it away? Why'd you keep your brain then?

    Obviously it can't be working if courtrooms are filling to the brink every month with violators.
    There's that magical logic again. You cup is always half-empty, isn't it?

    Why don't you look at the court rooms filling up as a sign that POLICE ARE doing their job correctly? Ever thought of that possibility? Funny how Police get stereotyped as lazy donut eating good for nothings, yet when they DO their job......people like YOU don't like it. Isn't America great?

    And generally if something isnt working you change it.
    It's funny how the naysayers have selective reasoning powers.

    What part of, "I see it EVERY DAY and it WORKS..." didn't you understand. I've been driving by the same exact intersection(s) for almost 7 yrs now. I drove thru there when there were NO cameras and drove thru there just this morning when there ARE cameras. I see, with my own two eyes, that there is a HUGE difference in how drivers approach that SAME EXACT intersection that BEFORE the cameras were installed people used to run at will. Many, many people have been seriously injured and killed AT THAT INTERSECTION before. Matter of fact, I've personally gotten out to aid on 2 different occassions after nasty wrecks RIGHT THERE. So for someone with your logic skills to ASSume things aren't "working" is laughable at best. They work. Problem is that whiners don't like it when you hold their feet to the fire for THEIR mistakes. It's not rocket science. Don't run the light, don't get a ticket. It's not any more difficult than that.

    When I lived in Pa it was rare to see a speed trap or someone pulled over, and certainly not a camera, yet somehow they managed to not have completely vehicular anarchy. It may have changed but last i knew only state cops were even allowed to use radar/laser up there.
    Oh yeah, because PA or any part of the Northeast for that matter is the mecca for courteous and proper driving techniques. Whatever.

    My uncle has lived in PA for the last 30+ yrs. He drives down to visit us atleast twice a year. Almost 20 hours in his car to get here. Ask HIM what he thinks about GA drivers vs PA drivers. Whatever. Your logic failed miserably my friend. Miserably.

    I got a red light ticket in the mail once. Now I almost never run yellows. Seems to work for me.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    And to believe your rhetoric would be even more moronic.

    Trust me, I understood. It may not be what you were "attempting" to convey, but I understood something, alright. Later, QD.

    rhetoric would imply that I have an agenda. In which I don't
    Now maybe If I were to sit on a forum trying to get people to respect me since I apparently dont get respect in the real world I might have an agenda.

    Last resort move. This is what people post to me when they know they've been shown the err of their ways. Later, QD.
