They recently made using a hand held cell phone a primary offense here. This means, they could write you a ticket for $124. But they don't write the tickets! I don't understand: they could sit an officer at any major intersection or on any arterial and solve the budget crisis in about 45 minutes. I see a rare person actually pulled over to take a call now, but really i've never seen such blatant disregard for a law before.
Too bad cops can't just shoot the tires of drivers they suspect of texting while driving (or reading or applying makeup or paying more attention to their phone conversation than to the road). See how quickly people would change their horrible habits, then!
