So traffic laws are all about income for the city? Or State? There’s a rationalization for you.

Color me cynical, but when I found out about the stop light cameras in San Diego, where they were not making enough revenue and decided to shorten the yellow light, I started to see they were willing to sacrifice safety for the almighty buck. In addition, most of the people they get are late into a yellow light, which is not what causes the bad wrecks and could happen to anyone.

I do not personally care about the cell phone issue, since I never talk on it while driving, but I follow State Patrolman every other day down I-5 doing 10 or more over the speed limit, and I usually get a speeding ticket every ten years or so by just going with the traffic flow.
