Like everything with government, it no longer has anything to do with safety.

The second it's a source of revenue it's milked for all it's worth in every possible edge case, with everybody who questions it on the pro-side of running over babies.

Parked by the curb, finishing your conversation before you put it in drive? The engine's running, you're on the phone, pay up.
