Data-driven Traffic Citations

Abstract

The author proposes a data-driven approach to traffic enforcement where experienced drivers with a clean record are granted a waiver on traffic tickets, arguing that current systems rely on arbitrary rules rather than empirical evidence of safety.

I propose that anybody who has driven 5+years and never been in an at-fault accident get an automatic waiver on any traffic tickets. Let's make traffic citations data-driven rather than based on arbitrary and generic rules!

This applies to insurance premiums too: when data on at-fault-collisions and their cost is available, why do non-profits such as AAA use a proxy such as citations to determine citations?
