Pay the fines. It's a money-making scheme, not a public-safety scheme.
Exactly. It's also a "jerks on power trips" scheme for the police. A ticket for going 53 in a 50 zone will be dismissed by any judge, but the cops know you probably don't have the time to waste taking them to court over $100.
I'm terms of other impatient drivers, that's why you have a middle finger on each hand.
Not to mention it's easy work for them. Why solve a murder when you can just bust some people for driving at the same speed as traffic? Solving murders doesn't generate any money for the department or state.
