Why do some laws exist if everyone is expected to just break them?
Why do some laws exist if everyone is expected to just break them?
Example: Traffic Speed. Everyone always exceed the speed limit on highways. Why do we still have the limit? Like, either enforce it, or remove it. This stuff doesn't make sense at all.

Do you think traffic speeds aren't enforced? Just because they can't do it effectively because they don't have the resources or man power doesn't mean they don't try.

I live in the south of France. I see cops cars using speed radars once a year. Once a fucking year. They do NOT enforce anything. If they did, half the population would be unemployed.

Ummm... nah
Cop car just goes speeding along with everyone else on the highway. Speeding is de facto legal.
-
It's only de facto legal until something goes wrong. If a crash occurred and someone was speeding that'd be considered a contributing factor to the crash.
Even if speeding itself wasn't illegal, there would need to be a definition of what reckless driving is, and speed in comparison to the road is a good measure of that, because it's directly proportional to the lack of control of the vehicle.

its more of a suggestion of what speed you should go, and as long as everyone is going the same, its no problem
for example:
speed limit is 55, but it's open road, everyone goes 65
or on the highway, left lane is always going 90+, even though the speed limit is 70
as long as everyone is doing the same and behaving themselves, no one has a problem with anyone
that's my opinion on the matter at least
