I understand that, and of course that's the case. It's the case all over this country. However when ppl yell at you and you complain about it it's hard to take you seriously. These letters are more likely to be printed and taken seriously when there's been an impact involved or something that illustrates what can happen when driver's don't know the law or take it seriously. It's not the paper's job to inform ppl of the law. It's the paper's job to print news, and your's isn't.
