How traffic cops could make more money and save lives

Cape Town's ever efficient traffic police like to make their money by targetting rush hour drivers. Not ones to stop the violent drunk driving accidents that happen at night by having random speed traps at night, they know their 'cash cow' is the 9-5 worker.

Capetonians love jumping red lights. Amber seems to mean accelerate to warp speed and cross the intersection as fast as possible before the oncoming traffic hits your car.

So, to make really efficient money during 9-5, the traffic cops should set up at intersections with traffic lights. Not only will they get optimum speed fines due to the warp speed light-jump factor, but will also get to issue a second ticket for illegally jumping a red light.

Everyone wins.
