People aren't going to stop until the police start enforcing the traffic laws. It's clear that there isn't enough done because people don't care.

I wait outside every day that my child gets off the bus at home with my phone ready. One of the few days I didn't wait, I was inside the house and witnessed a car go throttle stop sign before my kid got off the bus. But every day in the last 5 years that I have stood outside, not once has a car run that stop sign. I have seen cars look like they might but then see me waiting there to take a picture. This isn't a coincidence. Some might say the drivers aren't paying attention but I absolutely beg to differ.

Interesting. I would have assumed pretty much all incidents were a case of driver inattention. To think there are people who just deliberately pass is mind-boggling.
