I too think that the numerous "stupid little laws" that no one listens
to, are indeed needed. I dont think that they try to make people behave
certain ways all the times, but rather provide a legal means for placing
blame in the far-out circumstances when SOMEONE has to be blamed.

Take the case of solid whie lines. Legally, crossing them can provide you
with a moderately sized ticket if an officer so desires. This isnt
enforced much at all however. BUT, in the case of an accident, if you hit
someone while crossing the solid lines, you are at fault! This is when
the law seems to come in handy.
