Either : A) No arrests = "See,everybody ? Our Nazi-style checkpoint idea does keep anyone who drinks off the road" or B) A bunch of arrests= "See,everybody? thanks to our Nazi-style checkpoint idea, we took xx number of people off the road who could have killed you. C) At the end of A or B state,"We estimate that we have saved 318,458,214 lives tonight. D) If anyone were to dare question the number in "C", immediately proclaim them to be a "Murdering Witch from Hell" ! Right Don ? What bites the big Kahuna is that this is a win-win for MADD.

I can't remember where right now, but there are reports that state that cell phone use while driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving. Where is the agency that is named MAC (mothers against cell phones)? The worst I have heard of is fines much like any other traffic violation. I don't advocate making cell phone usage as heinous as drunk driving, but I do advocate making the laws in a world ruled by sanity and what actually works. How about cell phone usage while driving?

How about tire tread checks in the name of safety? It would be quick and those evil ones with low treads could be arrested. They didn't knowingly blow a tire and kill someone, but hey, they should have known the consequences. MALT, Mothers Against Low Treads. Built in tread meters for the offendors, tread checking school, treads must be certified by an official. Slogans, "low tread means your dead", friends don't let friends drive with low treads", use your head check your tread". Okay I'll stop now! Good points David and Joe.
