Some folks actually get the message! Seat belt usage in NJ has been increasing annnually with more than 90% of drivers here being belted in! Those who don't get the message and get stopped get what they deserve.
Because we're talking about slowly rolling through stop signs and some people think that every violation no matter how minor should be stopped and ticketed. The only way to do this is to have police stationed at every intersection. Otherwise, some people will get away with breaking the law and some won't. Why should some people just be unlucky? That just doesn't seem fair.
