What's become pretty obvious to me:

People often drive the same even in bad conditions. The same people I'm passing are passing me in downpours

People often just keep the same speed regardless of the speed limit. It doesn't matter if the speed limit drops from 50 to 35, many people just keep driving 45-50. Then, the same people who are ahead of me in these speed zones are holding me up when it goes back up to 50 (I like to go 55-60, but I keep it to 10 over in most areas).

Ticketing people obviously doesn't change their driving habits. I see places where like...everyone goes 20 over.

When the public is going 75-80 in a 55 mph zone, going 55 or 65 is fucking dangerous.

There is no real sensible use for speed limits in most cases. There should only be a series of 'common sense' laws that if violated bring serious penalties.

No tailgating

Especially no tailgating in adverse weather (happens surprisingly often)

No driving in a manner unsafe to others

No passing at more than 30 mph over the car next to you in heavy traffic (could be technically more specific, basically no roaring past people going 80 at 140 in fast traffic on the highway or something since idiots will cause accidents)

Must use turn signals

Must be able to stop at areas where crosswalks are present

Also, work zone speed limits are mostly bullshit, often when the workers are all gone and the speed limit is like 40 on a wide open 3 lane highway, the cops will all just sit there and nail people going 70. Traffic laws are as dumb as our drug laws because they both serve silly knee jerk reactions instead of actual safety.

You haven't really given a god example of stupid laws. Just driving habits of stupid people

well no, you really didn't

our system is just based on stupid numbers instead of paying attention to what really causes problems

work zone speed limits

school zone speed limits  (usually absurdly low and people slow down anyway when there are kids right there, the cops just pull people over when its technically school hours and theres none around)

stop signs (should usually be replaced with yield since most people just roll them anyway and its perfectly fine as long as you look)

driving license requirements

and mostly the fact that the cops enforce these bullshit numbers instead of actually doing something useful, which isnt a law, its more an enforcement priotity

While the guys are working, yes. That's a very dangerous job.

School zones are mostly 25 mph, but only in the morning or afternoon when the kids are coming and going, not all day. I have seen many speeding through school zones when the kids are trying to cross the street.

When someone rolls through a stop sign, onto a street that's 45 mph it causes problems. I've seen it many times. Now, stop signs in a residential area where all speed limits are 25 mph is pretty stupid.

You don't think people should have a license to drive?

I've seen the cops more or less ignore all of the items you've listed. Except for high speeds on the interstate.
