Multiply all problems by 9.7 and you'll have an approximation of driving in
Phoenix. I'm amazed every day by how ****in stoopid so many drivers here
are. You take your life in your hands....

What do you expect in a state where they hand out driver's licenses
that are good for 20 years..?

Some simple law enforcement would be nice. Cops are seen only at accident
scenes. Our current system is clearly wrong....

I'm driving the north 101 Loop these days. The cops are out there in
force lately. I've seen them pull over several crazy speeders. I'm
all for that...

While in the meantime all other dangerous violations all over the valley are
ignored. Speed has yet to kill the first motorist. It's the unplanned
stops what does ya in - frequently caused by buttheads driving too
slow/wrong lane for traffic conditions. Italy licenses drivers according to
real ability. On 60 Minutes, Mike Wallace rode with a Lamborghini factory
driver licensed to drive 200 mph on 2 lane highways. Here, the dumb****er
law "enforcers" still swear that "SPEED KILLS".

You've never heard of motorcycle or chauffeur licenses?

Enforcement of red light running would go a long way towards eliminating
accidents.

It's so bad that I routinely see people turning left AFTER the light
turns red - and I do mean they enter the intersection after it's red,
not simply that it turns red while they're still in it.

When judging whether a driver is ****in stoopid or not, I think we
should assume ****in stoopid until proven not ****in stoopid.

People here whined about stoplight cameras a few years back, but as far as
I'm concerned they can put them on every major intersection. How many lives
could be saved? **** the useless cops.

Another traffic slower that assumes illegality is the way to go is the way
nearly everyone illegally changes lanes during intersection turns in either
direction. Flow would improve if southbounders could come from east and
west simultaneously, with each staying in their respective lanes. When I
try to set it up, the other guy invariably locks his brakes and starts
honking me. They're certain I'm wrong....
