What some people fail to understand, is that such laws are created to address specific issues. The problem that this law addresses doesn't involve cars, so why would they write it to address cars?
When we support such laws, that are written in a reasonable and objective fashion, we show that the majority of us ARE NOT part of the problem. That goes a fair way to creating positive PR, to offset the negative PR created by those who don't care about other citizens.
