Since so many Americans seem not to know what a turn signal is, can't read the word STOP on a big red reflective sign, are completely unaware that the left lane is for the faster moving traffic, believe deep in their hearts that "it's OK to keep going through the intersection for a count of 3 after the light turns red", get most of their texting and email reading done while driving, I'm going to say that I think we should keep the traffic cops around.
In fact, I'll go further and say that our "freedom" to drive on public roads should be harder to obtain, and that some kind of schooling should be required, not suggested, and that the testing should be hard, and if you lose your license because of irresponsible behavior it should be even harder to get it the next time around.
If this opinion is unpopular with folks who think it's their "right" to put others at risk because that satisfies their inner needs, or feel that they are victims of "extortion" because the rules apply to them, well, I'm OK with that.
The road is not dangerous. Drivers and riders are, whether they are rich or poor.
We like to remind members to not feed the trolls-
Please-
Phrase. don't feed the troll. (Internet slang) Said to urge another not to respond to disruptive attention-seeking behavior, particularly in online contexts, by pointing out any such response is likely to be counterproductive.
Thanks.

This thread started out as somewhat interesting.
Then it became somewhat amusing.
Then it became mildly abusive (to the faint-of-heart).
Now it's just boring - the initial question has been answered in full.
Leave the thread in place... but it's time to close it.
If the only penalty for breaking a law is a fine, that means it's legal for rich people. (Where "rich" means the fine is basically pocket change).
Is there not a points system in place in most/all states? Accumulate enough and you lose your licence no matter how "rich" one is.
Oh, and the BRP is not unsafe.
I recall reading in a newspaper an article about a guy who was sent to prison for a DUI. But it was his 18th DUI conviction and he had had his driving privileges revoked several years earlier. Finally a judge decided that fining him again was a useless exercise so he got to go to prison for a while.
A fellow here got ten years for his tenth DUI conviction.
