Name just one law that you see that is never enforced or people get away with it. Why have it at all?

Me..... illigal imigrants coming over our borders and farmers hiring them. The government knows it is against the law for farmers or employers to hire them, but our government just looks the other way. Why are these businessmen not arrested?

because no one one wants to be $10 for a head of lettuce, that's why. Crops have to be picked and no one else is willing to do it.

I think traffic laws are the ones that are ignored the most. Speeding and running red lights.

I thought there was a minimum wage law. We have millions of people, Americans, working on minimum wage everywhere. You get a husband and wife working on one of these farms, good money with both working. I do not see where people will not work there. It must be because they are being paid under minimum wage and that is another broken law.

making minimum wage is not good money and most people will not do that kind of work for that little money.

laws....not having the headlights on when it is raining and not using the turn signal are 2 that are always violated but never enforced

How about wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle. They just passed a law here where you don't have to wear a helmet on a motorcycle if you choose, but the law passed many years back still stands that you are suppost to have a helmet on to ride a bicylcle. They do not enforce it, and I do not wear one and I ride daily. My kids all wear one though.

i thought the law in Florida was that children under 16 had to wear helmets. that's what they told us when we moved here. all the kids were under 16 then. we signed them up for a bike safety class and they got free helmets. nice ones too. i made them wear them until they turned 16. i dont wear a helmet when i ride my bike.

Yes I think you are right. But still they don't enforced it. Most of the neighborhood kids ride without them, my nieghbors included. Too cool for helmets I guess.

that gene pool will thin out when they crack their skulls on the pavement or the sidewalk.

i guess it bothers me the most when kids are riding their bikes to school and the cops are the ones monitoring the crosswalks. they should ticket them. and when they're old enough to get a driver's license, those points should do against it.

Helmet laws are stupid. IMHO.

I hate it when its snowing and you're in the mountains and there are chain restrictions....meaning if you're NOT in 4wd with snow tires then you HAVE to put on chains....the idiots that don't put on chains are the ones causeing all the accidents that stop traffic for hours upon hours....like last week...ugh!

hmmm...passed a law about a year ago or so here saying you werent allowed to drive and talk on your cell phone at the same time...unfortunetly it isnt enforced...and guess who the most red light runners AND accidents are caused by here? people talking on their cell phones...boneheads...<=== the addictive word for people who do that...

I can name one person there........ My good friend... it was snowing out... everyone on the highway was doing 45mph (if lucky)... she had bald tires.... everyone around her was galking at the accident on the side of the road... and what did she do... she crashed her car.... WHILE talking on the cell phone. Of course, I HAD to come and pick her butt up and drive her back home... talk about a 2 hour drive taking 3 hours with her on the cell phone that WHOLE time! ANNOYING! (I swear that phone is glued to her head) I have a rule that when its crappy out, I ABSOLUTELY do not talk on the cell phone.

Jaywalking, running red lights, speeding and passing in intersections.

I bought a helmet this year. all the people I ride with have one and they gave me a lot of hints that I should get one for my own protection. I used to wear one of those caps but now everyone wears a helmet and they're required for any organized event for liability reasons.

Yes I should probably get one, and set a good example and all that good stuff. I know it could save my life IF something where to happen. I just can't bring myself to sport one. Not only that on those 95* days its hotter than haitis with a hat on.

Littering, especially cigarette buds. Put them in your ashtray people, all cars have them.

Actually, no, many new cars don't.

Maybe the laws are, but lack of a helmet is just as stupid IMNSHO.

In the ER, we used to call 'em "donorcycles," not motorcycles.

No turn signal laws are hardly ever enforced around here.

Oh, that; and speeding. Everyone does it (especially on the freeways) but I hardly ever see people getting pulled over for going above the posted speed limit.

We have the helmet law and a seat belt law, but children are allowed to ride in the back of pickup trucks here in Mississippi!

We also have a mandetory insurance law but it is not enforced. I know in Georgia, if you drop insurance they come take your tag and suspend your driver license.
