They also divide them by weight , and by experience level . I weight 145 lbs , I ' m a BJJ brown belt . I would clown all 270 lbs of you in a fight . All day long , and I ' ve trained with women who clown me . When the skill level is equal then physical attributes are the deciding factor , but skill makes up for a physical disadvantage . The larger the disadvantage the larger the required skill gap , but the difference between an untrained person and a person who has been training for 56 years is MASSIVE . <| sep |> You ' re wrong about how it works . If someone is driving really bad , they ' ll get a ticket . If what you did is bad enough , no amount of politeness will get you out of it . Its just when you ' re on the line between ticket and warning and I could go either way that your attitude makes a difference . And in my state , drivers get court supervision if they complete a safe driving course . You still pay the fine but it doesn ' t become a conviction . You only get that twice in a 12 month period though so if you are consistently bad , then you get your license suspended . The person who messes up once in a while just pays a small fine , the truly bad drivers lose their driving privileges . And the fine is the same for cell phones and speeding , or any other violation . The only one thats cheaper is a seat belt ticket which I don ' t even write because you only hurt yourself by not wearing it . I don ' t pull people over for driving a little fast , I pull them over for doing 15 mph over and then give them a ticket every time . Thats because a little fast is normal , everyone does it but 15 over , you have no excuse and you ' re actually going fast enough to pose a hazard to other drivers . As for cell phones and the like , I write those regularly . We often get calls of a DUI driver who turns out to be on their phone . If texting makes you drive like youre drunk , you need a ticket for it . I think you have a lot of misconceptions about how police generally work . We aren ' t mindless drones who strictly enforce every little violation . We all have different things we like to look out for but we also are reasonable . I have a genuine interest in making people drive safer because a writing traffic tickets is a lot less paperwork and mental exhaustion than peeling your brain off a tree or the pavement . I think you ' re ideas about traffic enforcement are a bit misguided .
