That other political thread reminded me...on automotive forums, I see lots of people complaining about traffic or vehicle laws after getting caught violating them. What I never see is anyone trying to change those laws, even after getting caught violating them.

Well, no wonder there's all these laws against tint/lowering/lifting/exhaust/speeding/stop signs/whatever...the only people who ever write a letter to their representatives are elderly people, so our government's only data is that we're crotchety uptight oldsters who want everyone driving under 30mph with no more than .00000000001% BAC, clear windows, in a bone-stock Toyota Camry. The only people who ever run for office are weirdos who want to get into that nasty dirty business we call "politics".

So, what have you done to change the law (traffic/vehicle or otherwise) that bothers you the most?
