Then according to your logic, 95% of the drivers should not be driving and should have their licenses taken away. Yes, they will catch a few when they need to meet a quota, but it could not be enforced to the point where it would affect driver behavior.By the same logic, since probably 95% of pedestrians jaywalk at one time or another, they also shoud not be permitted to cross the street either. I did not forget "cars, trucks, emergency vehicles and buses". I didn't mention them because if you can't see them at a stop sign, you are going way too fast and are not even crawling through a stop sign. It is the pedestrians and bikes you can misjudge and might hit if you see them and don't come to a complete stop. I also should have mentioned wheelchairs, skateboarders, non-motorized scooters, and illegal segways or other off-road vehicles. You don't have to come to a complete stop to see that none are in the vicinity. But you forgot those also. |
