Grown-ups realize that you have to follow the rules, even if you don’t like them.

all good until you take it to the logical extreme of which 'rules' are decereed by the annointed ones...

around here, and in most places ive ever driven, 'rush hour traffic is 90% of the traffic runnin 10-15 over the posted limit...the only thing that keeps the citizenry from storming the towers is that the herd is only bled a sheep or two per commute...but everybody wonders when their number is up...usually as they watch the same cops fly past em at any speed they wish, or even beteer, mom and an suv full of urchins crawlin over the seats, with the almighty fop badge on the plate...

bench warrents are a bitch...but nothin compared to the 'pushback' that might likely come from the obambamomics and its police state...

I agree with your comments. There are limits to what people should be expected to put up with. In general, people should abide by the traffic laws. If you’re traveling during rush hour and traffic is moving above the posted speed limit, it would cause a dangerous situation for you to slow down and impede traffic.

One can start a movement to get the city council to make changes to local speed or traffic related laws, if the police are out of line. I would support such an effort.

One of the hardest lessons in life, is the lesson that tells us that not everything in life will be fair. Even then, if something is so unfair that it reaches a Constitutional test, then it should be addressed at the local, state, or federal level.

We shouldn’t blindly follow any law. We do need to go about remedying that law in productive ways though. Setting yourself up to fail is not productive.
