So you only hit a **couple** of cars on your last DUI. Or you only run red lights when you're late and there isn't anyone 'coming'.
Make traffic offenders put a taxi-like display on top of their car, like driver's ed 'Student Driver' cars. That way other drivers can watch out and help correct the
troubled drivers among us, and the police get a little heads-up.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (Arizona Maricopa County Sheriff's Office) takes obvious joy in putting inmates in tents (summers ~ 110°F/43°C) and forced to wear old-fashioned prison stripes and pink underwear. Some of the inmates actually like the outdoors. |

In Arizona, the sheriff enjoys a substantial degree of popularity for actually enforcing laws even though his office has been sued multiple times and ‘His practices have been harshly criticized by organizations such as Amnesty International, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Arizona Ecumenical Council, the American Jewish Committee, and the Arizona chapter of the Anti-Defamation League.’ [Wikipedia] |

BTW, the pink underwear is a hot seller for a $10 donation (last reported $400,000US). |

What about taxicabs themselves (which are often the biggest offenders?) I guess you could pile up the taxi tents on top of them. Drivers with many violations might have a stack of 10 of them on their roof :) |
