I have multiple LEO's in my family and social circle. At the end of last month, one of them was accused (by another friend of ours) of sitting in a popular area to get his monthly quota and to participate in the "revenue collection program". He responded by saying that quotas don't exist (probably not the biggest lie we've heard today, but whatever) and that the department only gets a few dollars per ticket. But let's keep in mind that the local departments are funded largely by the state, which is the recipient of ticket revenue. So yes, each ticket has a directly proportionate effect on revenue, whether you'll admit to it or not.

When I first got my RV, I was worried about being the one merging onto highways. Turns out most people see you and get out of the way. The real problem is the people trying to merge in front of you at half the speed limit.
I totally agree. And what really bothers me is that most of these drivers act like it is their right to enter the highway and we need to yield to them! I see it all the time in different states. I wonder if they would do this to an semi rig.

1. Put your right turn signal on before you clear the vehicle in the right lane so those behind know you intend to pull back over shortly.
Turn signal - why don't people use it? It certainly gives those around you an idea of what you plan to do. Thanks!

So....
They've created a law that will force you to break the law in order to keep the law so that others may break the law.
