I have had it with stop signs and traffic laws! They make honest people
into criminals.

A couple of days ago, during a brief ride I encountered motorists doing these things:
Two cars virtually ran a stop sign. I say "virtually" because each car did no more than slow down as they travelled through the intersection!
One car failed to yield: Oncoming car made a turn in front of me, forcing me to slow dramatically.
One car was driving along slowly and erratically in a residential area, the driver was holding a mobile phone to their ear-- they weren't using a hands-free set!

This was all within the space of an hour. Statistically speaking, there's no way that these scoff-laws were the only motorists engaging in dangerous driving behavior.

I think it's time that we REGISTER every driver and automobile. EVERY ONE! That will stop the problem of people running stop signs, making dangerous turns, driving while distracted, etc. COMPLETELY and FOREVER!

That's right! That's what I'm suggesting: That registering drivers and their cars will put an end to illegal driving behavior.

Oh, wait a sec...
