My new take is that cops actually need to do more traffic stops and penalties for reckless driving and speeding and shit needs to be much more.

People are horrible, dangerous drivers, and the highway patrol needs to start ramping their shit up

lol when's the last time you saw someone pulled over for blocking the left hand lane? Not even just in Philly, the northeast in general?

They really don't do shit.

Bro in Philly people park in the middle between the yellow lines. Traffic enforcement doesn’t mean jack shit to Philly PD lol

That's never going to solve the issue, just make people hate cops more than they already do. It needs to be harder to get a license in the first place, let's face it parallel parking isn't a good indicator of driving ability or understanding of traffic laws. You should be required to have time behind the wheel and classes should be readily available, use some of that money wasted on the cops to actually teach people how to drive.

100% yeah actually, in the first place the license needs to be way harder to get

However people are wayyyy too comfortable driving like fucking lunatics on 95 and highways and I’d much prefer if fines and punishment for shit like reckless driving and speeding was more severe. Make people actually face consequences, im not trying to get in an accident because some dumbfuck was tailgating me while I was going 20 over the speed limit in a 55
