Following Traffic Laws

What is the important about following traffic laws and what is the consequence if not done so?

The importance of following traffic laws, they are there to keep us safe and to protect us from the dangers of disobeying them. I have learned in the last few years that traffic laws are meant to keep men, women, and children safe by controlling safety. By the exact words of army regulations 190-5 “The objectives of motor vehicle traffic supervision are to assure— a. Safe and efficient movement of personnel and vehicles. b. Reduction of traffic deaths, injuries, and property damage from traffic accidents. Most traffic accidents can be prevented. Investigation of motor vehicle accidents should examine all factors, operator status, vehicle condition, and supervisory control measures involved.” Which should be the objective of everyone by keeping everyone safe and making efficient movements, it helps make life a safer place. The Army cares about everyone’s lives that is why Regulation 190-5 states that speed limit on post is twenty miles per hour unless posted otherwise, which is ten miles lower than most states. That will help keep everyone safe on post. The army also reserves the right to stop and inspect you vehicle at any time as stated in Army Regulation 190-5 Sub section 2-2 “Stops and inspections of POVs within the military installation, other than at restricted areas or at an installation gate, are authorized only when there is a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, or a violation of a traffic regulation, or the installation commander’s policy. Marine Corps users will be guided by publication of Marine Corps order and Military Rules of Evidence 311–316 and local command regulations.
