The sad fact is that many people are very poor drivers yet most people think that they are good drivers. Many people are not even aware they are doing anything wrong when they fail to signal a lane change, or signal a turn, or fail to yield the right of way when they enter a highway.
It seems to me that the quality of drivers has gone down hill over the last 30 years or so. The accident and fatality statistics do not support that because vehicles are much safer now than they were in the past and that fact has saved many poor drivers from themselves.

Like me saying I observed you doing something illegal. Do you take that to the bank? If there isn't a device measuring the speed how can you definitively say someone is speeding.
I as an officer could look in your car as you drive by and see you eating a breakfast sand which and mistake it for a cellphone. Do you deserve to get a texting ticket for distracted driving for eating and driving? Or when I approach your vehicle you telling me no sir its a bacon egg and cheese is OK
Live free or die. You don't need to wear a seat belt, wear a helmet on a bike, register your firearms or even hold US citizenship to collect, but you absolutely CANNOT use a cellphone while under way! yawnnn
