<div dir="ltr">Nancy, et al,<div><br></div><div>I geezed last night/early this AM when I suggested that increased fines could raise city/town revenues. I really do know better. The STATE gets all the dough, as it was pointed delicately to me. Still, the Old Line State, the Free State, needs to be the Wealthier State and the box blockers should fund if they insist on not thinking before entering the intersection. And it really is about thinking before the foot presses against the pedal. Too many drivers, one hand on the wheel, the other holding a phone, the brain focused on chat or destination, aren't focused on the immediate task at hand: driving. I'm guilty too. So, a big, fat, fine, and fear of it, could save us lots.</div>

My father then explained that blocking the box is a serious driving offense in Mobile (this driver was blocking the box) and drivers are more likely to get a ticket for that than anything else. <br>
<br>This is also a safety hazard, right? They are also potentially blocking emergency vehicles.<br><br>So, let's raise revenue and retrain the drivers that block the box at this intersection!!!<br><br>Nancy<br><br></td>
