Is speeding a big problem in todays econemy? What about drugs and alcohol? Why does it seem to take police so long to get to an accident? Have you ever wondered why there are so many more cops on duty now than there has been the past couple years? Speeding, drugs and alcohol is the main cause to this problem. Also, not to forget, the police need their money so of course their going to be glad to cover more shifts. There are over 100,000 traffic violations per day in the U.S. which amounts to over 41,000,000 traffic tickets per year. We believe that getting a speeding ticket or recieving a ticket for anything wont slow down speeders or disobey the law. Over 95% of people who receive a speeding ticket decide to just pay the fine instead of going to court for it. That, right there, pretty much explains the reason why people just keep on receiving tickets because to alot of people paying the fine isn't a big deal. If people really cared then they would be going to court for this kind of stuff instead of paying the ticket. The average amount of time it takes for police to show up to an accident or emergency call is approxametly 15 minutes but can extend to around 30 minutes depending on where you are. Too long, to arrive for an emergency report. What if the person is dying and the police are there but the ambulence hasnt showed up yet? Do the police know what to do in case a situation like that occurs?
