But traffic tickets are just a game. The rules change, folks use the old rules sometimes mistakenly, should we go back and change the score? Also these are folks who didn't challenge it the first time around - are they going to get up in arms now? I'm guessing not.

Traffic tickets are not "just a game" and if you believe that then I challenge you to drive in a place where they aren't issued.

Laws change because we learn from experience and over time situations change.
