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.


Don't you need a license to sling that much cognitive dissonance?

You have tickets for failure to obey a highway sign,


that would be "speeding"

and a cracked
windshield.


In my current state of residence, that windshield would be perfectly
legal, and in any state it was safe. I was also cited literally days
after the crack occurred.

And, of course, you have cited these same motorists to be "perfectly
safe" at 80 mph, ad nauseum.


No, I stated that 80 MPH on an interstate highway was perfectly safe for
a competent driver, which it is.

And, you're in a RLC thread.

You appear to be in the final stages of entirely disconnecting from
reality.


You shouldn't talk about things that you know nothing about, like "reality."

I'll oppose a law when it is unfair. I will support a law when it makes
sense.
