How about this for semantic nomenclature:
The term is not traffic crimes, it is traffic INFRACTIONS-----maybe we could designate those perpetrators as "infractors"
Likewise, the term is not parking crimes, but parking VIOLATIONS----we could call those people "violators", although that could have a much different connotation.  |
Already in place. And, obsession with the .1 mph gives us chain pullers a guide to over reactors.
The point is that a line has to be drawn somewhere. The line for
general public safety was decided upon. Traffic laws are not written for the "best" drivers and cars, but for the average person/vehicle on the road. This is so the most people have the opportunity to us the highways our dollars pay for. It is for societies benefit, not the few that think the are superior. Driving is a
PRIVILEGE, not your right. And no one has the right or privilege of breaking those laws. Not even a little. Like being a little bit pregnant. You either are, or you're not. No, .1 mph over is still over. If you are going err, err on the side of caution.
