It's much easier to just obey the traffic laws. It puts less stress in your day, and everybody else's for that matter, plus it makes you less interesting to traffic cops. But there's always the idiot that's got to get where they're going one second before everyone else and gin up a bunch of excitement and stress for everyone on the road. Driving is the one thing we all do just about every day that has the potential to directly affect so many other people's lives, stupid driving is NOT a victimless crime.

Thank you. Today I’m going to make a point of driving 5mph under the speed limit to irritate the idiots. LOL
I like safe drivers, same as you do.
But if you roam around a bit on the site, you’ll note that a number of municipalities have gotten themselves in hot water by SHORTENING the time the traffic lights are “yellow.” This is in order to catch more speeders, who may not have been speeding at all.
It appears that, in lieu of raising taxes outright, some places have resorted to tormenting drivers, in order to raise revenue.
