School Zones
I completely understand the purpose of school zones: to make sure people slow down so that they won't run over a child.
However, my question is that IF the driver actually does realize there is a school zone and not in their own oblivion (texting, talking on the phone, talking to passengers, applying make-up, eating, etc.) are they more concerned with looking for a child that might cross the road OR are they scanning every location for a cop so that they don't get a ticket??
Just a thought I had while driving the correct speed and NOT in my own oblivion through a school zone yesterday but while scanning curiously for hidden cops.

Just Me had this to say:
I'm one to slow down in a school zone. I had a Drivers Ed teacher that took us by where a few kids were hit while crossing the road then we drove past the person's house that hit them. It scared the crap out of me. I definitly look for cops though when I'm driving, just in case I'm going 21 mph.
