I'd actually like to see more tickets for failing to signal a lane change, failure to yield and impeding traffic...if they actually enforced just those three instead of going after frivolous speeding tickets, I feel like just those would likely cut traffic down in half around here..people seriously need to learn how to quickly and safely change lanes around here before getting issued a license and conversely people need to stop acting like entitled pricks and let cars in to merge instead of blowing past em and forcing them to all bottleneck up to the end of the merge area...creating the traffic.
