I drive atleast 200 km everyday in the city and area. There's no cops to be seen anymore anyways. 25 yrs ago when I startedto drive I couldnt even make it a week without a ticket or just being pulled over. There would be radar traps all over the west end all at the same time. Now I might see 20 traps per summer in the whole city. Some of the jack ass moves I see that never seems to get people tickets. Like sitting at small break in the median with ur left signal on infront of a huge no left sign in rush hour. Cars lined up waiting for the idiot to get out of the way Or like the 4 cars that ripped out of a parking lot, 3 feet apart no stopping before enter the road and crossing 3 lanes straight to the 4 left hand turn lane while I am coming down the road on a motor cycle. then I get off my bike to TALK about the near miss and they all run the red light. Anyways it's a stupid law. I Agree !! Hard to enforce. Maybe a video of the infractor in action while I drive beside with the iPhone on video camera as a witness. Oh wait. That's illegal to

You raise a valuable point!

How are they suposed to enforce this, when they cant even enforce the 4 to 5 people that go through the red light per cycle

Think there's enough interest to start up another course?
How many graduates from "arff's texting and driving 101"?
Wasn't there also a more advanced second level "201"?
