You see, they DON'T put any points on your license but they DO inform your insurer. It's a win-win (for them).
Me, I'd rather clog the court system if I'm paying anyway.

Here's a simple idea for you, stop at the freaking stop sign.
I don't have time to clog courts. I don't always follow every "rule of the road". I don't get caught often. When I do get caught, I don't always get tickets from the police. I don't complain about this stuff on the internet. I pay the fine, and move on. I have a LOT more fun and important things to do.
Oh, and STUPID should hurt.
*the only ticket I've received in the past +25 years is for no front plate. One I paid, one was dismissed in court, most are road-side warnings.
