How does your contention account for speeding, jaywalking and marijuana use? Those are three examples that jump to mind of laws that are essentially universally flaunted in the US (and I suspect elsewhere). Is America not a functional society, or do we have almost no upstanding citizens?

In 2014 in the US, speeding was a factor in 28% of motor vehicle crash deaths. http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/general-statistics/fatalityfacts/overview-of-fatality-facts http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/t/general-statistics/fatalit...
