sometimes I have to sneeze.  When I do I have this pesky side effect of having my eyes closed.  I've tried really hard not to break the law, but when you drive you have to have your eyes open!  The law is the law of course, and I'm a law abiding citizen. 

I'm waiting for the "cops are crackin' down on ___" commercials

Police in Maine are cracking down on dangerous drivers... If you're speeding, changing lanes without signaling, tailgating, listening to the radio, smoking, eating fries, rolling your window up or down, pulling that spider off of your face or scratching your ass... you WILL be caught...

Out of control? Out of excuses!

Meh. Negligent driving is already a law in most states. At least, it is here. No--you cannot legally eat that burger or drink that coffee behind the wheel.

Yeah, I know the cops do it.

These things have always been largely tolerated in the past. But local governments are getting desperate to steal more money.

What about at redlights? I usually wait to do anything until I get to a red light.
