Cops can't solve bad driving. Fear of punishment is not an effective deterrent. We know this because we've done the psychology and looked at the numbers. Unsafe driving is an infrastructure problem. In my country, people leave enough space between cars. It's not because we have more police than yours, it's because we have safer designed roads. Every traffic accident that causes a death is an infrastructure failure.

It is both.

Germany often sees reckless driving compared to its neighbouring countries in similair road conditions. Lack of enforcement and small penalties do play an imporant role in that. The infrastructure is similiar, but other countries actually enforce things like speed limits much more actively. At the end of the day if bad driving equals unsafe driving, the person shouldnt drive.
