Ticketing a driver for a vehicle violation gives them no good incentive to fix the broken taillight, headlight, or whatever. Eugene, Oregon's new citation system is much, much better.

It means you don't get tickets on your license, and it means you have an incentive to get your car fixed, rather than just pay a series of fines, as EPD officer Gregg Magnus explained to KEZI 9 News in the video above.
