=v= I would say "misperceive" rather than "see."  Motorists
ignore more laws, more serious laws, and with much more serious
consequences; but since this is the norm, the police have taken
to ignoring all but their most egregious offenses.  (Most of
them are plunked behind the wheels of cars themselves.)
