Clickit or Ticket vs. Smooth Operator?

Clickit or Ticket is a campain every year to issue seatbelt violators citations for not wearing their seatbelts. Smooth Operator is a campain targeting agressive driver violations. Do these have any effect? The Clickit or Ticket operation, in our estimation, is nothing more than an operation to earn money for the state. Moreover, the agencies participating in these programs see none of the funds collected by the state directly. Additionally, it seems that if we are in America, people who are free to make all types of poor decisions, are capible of making a decision whether to buckle up or not. Children should always be seatbelted of course. So, if a person who is riding single decides not to buckle their seatbelt and wants to play with the perverbial loaded gun, so be it.

Smooth Operator on the other hand is a good program because it targets agressive driving. Even though violations go to the state as well they carry points, unlike the clickit or ticket campaign which carries no violation points whatsoever. The Smooth Operator campaign at least provides enhanced protection to other driver's on the road by curtailing the threat posed by rouge drivers, driving like idiots. What are your thoughts?

I couldn't agree more. You are right on the mark.
