Another effective measure would be to make the penalties bigger. There is a thread on this forum about someone in Farmer's Branch, Texas getting a large ticket for running a stop sign. Some thought the fine was obscene, but I bet he hasn't done it since.

I would charge at least a $1000 fine for absolutely all moving violations. In my opinion, there is no such thing as a minor infraction. Breaking the law is always serious.
