      Oh, yes? How many cars have you seen recklessly racing through pedestrian zones? Where do you see more than half the cars ignoring red lights?

        I live in North America, so I see cars ignoring speed limits on literally every road.

        I see cars ignoring red lights when they turn right on red without ensuring there are no pedestrians in the crossing. I also see cars beginning crossing the intersection while the light is already red (in my own town this is such a problem, its common practice to wait a couple seconds after the light turns green to go).

        I see cars consistently treating stop signs as yield.

          That is seriously bad. And your cops are probably busy doing American Cops things instead of making sure the city is safe and sound.
