I feel like Canadian cops have generally given up on traffic violations.

The mis-step we have in some areas is that we still have some police forces that are effectively just a highway patrol, at least in Southern Ontario.

We do have a regulatory problem: most accidents require a police report. And a response problem where police would be first to a scene of a blocked lane on a major highway.

Meanwhile in France, they have a “safety” crew that first-responds to mechanical issues. After a collision, there’s just a form that both parties fill out and send off to their insurance company. No police involvement unless it was serious.
