    Better roads help prevent crashes. People won’t change just because they got a ticket. “Drive as fast as you can afford” is a warning I got when learning to drive. If all it is is a $300 ticket there are people who are more inconvenienced from being stopped than paying the fine. People don’t care about car crashes.

      Then you have to increase fines, make it a percentage of the person’s income that hurts everybody equally.

        Sounds to me like you just want to hurt people as opposed to fixing the problem.

        You got to realize 100% of anything isn’t feasible. Having better road engineering, and reducing the number of cars on the road will have results.

        The drug wars stopped people doing drugs right?
