In Montclair, New Jersey, they're using police decoys in crosswalks to catch drivers who don't stop. You maty not stop every time you see somebody at a crosswalk, but you're supposed to. It's sometimes hard to tell whether somebody's actually crossing the street or just standing there, though. But while Montclair cracks down on crosswalk violations, the state of New Jersey is beginning its annual two-week crackdown on drivers who don't wear seat belts, and they say they catch a lot of people every year. The question I have is, who are the people who don't use their seatbelts? After all, every car now makes an infernal racket if you don't buckle your seatbelt while driving. And it really doesn't take a whole lot of effort to just buckle the damn thing. Why wouldn't you uncle? (Montclair Times via Bergen Record; Newark Star-Ledger)
