Someone mentioned something about judges and such slapping wrists and letting people go...
We were driving the RV, towing the pickup through a small town. Saw an interesting antique shop on the side of the road and decided to check it out. As we passed the shop... at the next intersection a mid 60's, paint faded pickup drove up to the intersection from the side road and blew the stop sign right in front of us. I slammed on the breaks, narrowly avoiding impact. I watched as the pickup weaved a bit and then turned down the next side street.
Parked the rig, composed myself (read cleaned my shorts) and we walked back to the store and looked around. Mentioned the incident to the clerk and described the truck. She then told us that it was the local "Old Man" that everyone in town knew. No longer had a driver license and had been stopped for it several times and let go. Since everyone in town knew about him they stayed out of his way but no one was willing to do anything to stop him.
