That works on an individual level but why not modify the rules to fit the norm so the people who exceed the law when practical don't conflict with the people who follow the law reality be damned?

Your comment also reminds me of a proverb to the tune of "bad drivers aren't a problem until they meet".

Sure, one can be that driver that leaves death and destruction in their wake but still look good on paper if the metric is legal and financial penalties since those only loosely correlate with actual bad behavior.

Again, you’re suggesting changing the rules because some people are bad at following them.

Why exactly would they follow the new rules?
