No enforcement. The only time that I see police is at an accident scene.

It's a missed opportunity for the state to make a lot of money - start fining people for following too closely, lurking in the left lane, not merging properly, swerving/weaving, having a car that's obscenely loud, etc.

Exactly, I’ve only seen me cop pull over a red light runner. People just get away with it most of the time

i got pulled over for doing 44 in a 30 (fair enough), but literally a few minutes before an AMG and newfangled benz were ripping through traffic, no blinkers, legit almost caused an accident when the lane merged. mentioned it to the cop and he shrugged. kinda pissed me off ngl.

If they can't catch them they most likely won't pursue, this is pretty common with motorcycle crotch rocket riders but it applies in certain driving situations as well. Cop isn't gonna recklessly pursue you and potentially endanger others just to give you a ticket, especially if they weren't quick to draw. Kinda reasonable even though this is kinda the stuff that causes accidents. It would help if they did enforce the passing lane more against slow or camping drivers, it boggles my mind that people don't see an issue with a mile long line behind them and open road in front of them

Ah yes. More cops and tickets, that will solve it.
