Maybe they're all too busy on the cell phones while driving themselves. If I had a camera and got a buck for every one of those violations I caught on film, I'd be rich today.

prevails” on the streets of NYC. To put it succinctly, we have laws that are not enforced, so
many drivers have “carte blanche” to do as they wish. Need I tell you who is supposed to enforce
the traffic laws? Sad to say, of all the accounts, complaints, suggestions regarding the problem,
rarely is there mention of the NYPD's responisbility in the matter. Until this reality is confronted,
people will continue to die on our streets, and the rule of law will suffer another affront.
