IMHO the #1 problem with driving in the US are the police. When I am alone on the highway doing 80 in a 65, no one is endangered. At all. Anywhere in the world even theoretically. It is 100% safe for me, in my new sports car to go 80 MPH on the highway with no one else around. AND YET, I have to be paranoid that I'll get a ticket. The reason being that it's easy for a cop to give a ticket for 80 in a 65 and it brings in revenue to the local PD.
But if I am tailgating- which is NEVER safe and endangers me and the person in front of me, it is almost impossible to get a ticket. If I do the speed limit in the left lane and cause a traffic jam, I cannot get a ticket even though it causes a dangerous condition behind. There are so many dangerous stupid things I can do and can't get a ticket doing. But cops are mostly stupid. I offer no apologies for saying that even if there are cops on here. Stop being a dope if you want to be thought to be anything other than a moron.
If the cops enforced laws that cause dangerous driving, the dangerous driving will lessen. If they stop hassling people for doing things that are not dangerous and concentrate on the dangerous stuff, traffic incidents will diminish in number and severity. Yes, I put this mostly on the police.
