50 nonconsecutive laps in a day isn't even that much, tbh.

As a cabbie, I could drive 25 fares a day, and if I go back to my station after the fare, then I'd drive one lap while driving the customer home and another while going back myself.

That's exactly what I was thinking, anyone who drives for their job could easily be crossing the same traffic circle dozens of times a day. That would be against the law?

Spirit vs intention of law, they wouldn’t be ticketing people who do it for work, it would be for people like OP who have nothing better than be a “menace”.

I’ve thought about getting a few dozen people and just going in a loop around a couple of blocks screwing over the traffic circle. So yeah the laws probably because someone actually decided to do it.

I think you mean spirit vs letter of the law, but yeah, any time you count on cops or courts honoring the 'spirit of the law' you're probably gonna get burned.

Of course with this law nobody is gonna get burned unless they are actually doing laps. Cops don't have time to be counting how many times you went through a traffic circle in a day, they've got people and dogs to kill.

And this perspective is entirely what’s wrong with civilization…..

Entirely, huh? Nothing else that needs adjusting? lol

truly, the worst part of humanity is the refusal to accept cops as our owners and gods
