The Impact of Traffic Laws

An important concept Ripstein brings to light is that of Traffic Laws. In fact, throughout the reading Ripstein states, "Traffic rules are neglected because of an implicit consensus about how to think about them: they are matters of convenience and coordination" (233). This statement has allowed me to delve into deep thought and as a result has altered my perspective on Traffic Laws. Notice how Ripstein emphasizes the words "convenience and coordination." Without traffic rules there is a lack of structure. Coordination is lost leading to an unsatisfied public. We must not abolish traffic laws, rather we must continue to improve them for the benefit of the public. Traffic laws should be valued and views as essential to people's well beings.
