CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger found most everyone who challenged
the white line tickets in court lost.


It is about money, not justice.


It's about dangerous and assh#$% drivers.


I'll still put my money on money. Going 6" over the line is not very
dangerous, but not paying $75 hurts the system.


It's not very dangerous, but there has to be a definition of where to
stop; to borrow a phrase, you have to draw a line somewhere.

The state of competence among American drivers, at least around here is
shockingly bad - most people seem to feel the way you do about slightly
crossing the white line about other "minor" infractions like not
signaling, not using mirrors, forcing their way into another lane when
it's occupied by other traffic, turning into the wrong lane, etc. etc.
etc... unfortunately the only law that seems to be enforced is speeding.
