Wish they would hang out around some of the more major intersections to catch the people running yellow and red lights ! Especially people who have the green arrow and just keep on coming even though it changed to yellow and then Red as they enter the intersection.
I hear ya Lunarguy!
We sure do like to drive fast.
I do not understand though, why people continue to drink and drive. I don't want the establishment to have any more control over me than they already do, but how are they going to get people to stop doing this? Do we have to make it idiot proof, such as the built in breath-a-lyzer in the steering wheel? Why not just go to automated cars on regulated roads? Or outlaw cars because they are dangerous when in the hands of idiots?

looks like the P.G. Detachment should pick up the pace
Alcohol fueled cars!
