I've been to traffic school. I turned left and the cop said there was a no-left sign. I didn't see it. I went back to look, and sure enough, the sign was at the corner, completely covered by bushes, and not visible to drivers. So traffic school lets those like me who very seldom get a ticket, and do not deliberately violate traffic laws, avoid insurance increases, when we are really good drivers, and the ticket was unfair or for something that did not really endanger traffic. Only if there were perfect justice in law enforcement would the ability to clean one's record not be justified. Traffic school makes up for such imperfections. Bad drivers will get more frequent tickets, on average, which will then show up on their records. Fred Foldvary ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED]
