This all started years ago. People have been breaking traffic laws with total disregard for the law. The police ignored the very minor traffic violations and now look at the roads today. Almost everybody does as they please on the roads. You may laugh and scoff at me but the gradual erosion of respect for laws has been going on for some time. People are no longer afraid to break "minor" laws and it has escalated into what we have today.

People have been breaking traffic laws with total disregard for the law That's because most of the traffic laws have little to do with public safety, and everything to do with raising revenue for the state.
