I have maintained in the past and still maintain there should be a separate unit of law enforcement that does nothing but enforce traffic laws. The unit(s) would be self funding via ticket revenues.

We all know enforcement works. School zones....our favorite little towns notorious for notorious speed traps, etc.

Why?

ENFORCEMENT!! Very lacking throughout TV.

The traffic violations and numerous (per day) accidents/near misses are the single most negative aspect of TV life style. NO ENFORCEMENT!
In the past week I have seen Sumter County Deputies working radar on Morse, Buena Vista, and from a postal station lot on Woodridge Drive. Just because you don't see them, it doesn't mean they aren't out there.
