One of the few traffic laws that needs more enforcement. That and 'keep right, pass left.'
Agreed. South Street is cops love people who block the box. So much so that they always come over to say hello.

interesting... as you can tell I don't drive in the city much at all, or I just don't block intersections when I do, lol.

Why would anyone buy an IS-F over an M3?

box blockers can be pretty bad in jersey too. people love to park in the intersection when the light goes red.

its not a bad idea to hand out tickets for this, but if i know the pork patrol they will find someway to bait people and then ticket them for being slightly over the line.

its what they do with the pedestrian crossings in jersey. They care very little about protecting pedestrians (i.e no one ever gets hit in those areas anyway) and everything to do with handing out lots of $300 tickets.

Exactly!

I would buy an E46 M3 before I bought an IS-F...

I would guess that they are a bit cheaper. No gas guzzler tax. Likely more reliable. and finally the 8speed tranny.

most probably they like the appearance ... and the quad exhaust tips!!!

Yeah the Philly PO had the same idea, I was making a right and a cab was next to me going straight. I was more in the box than the cab was. It looked like the cab was just touching the white line across the street, whereas I was already in the pedestrian white blocks. We both got warnings.

obviously the guy didn't want the whole world to think he's a **** (Jeremy Clarkson quote) by driving an M3

disclaimer: I would take an M over the IS any day of the week.
