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.
