Speeding Ticket

While I see your point, and agree with it to an extent, do you really believe that speed limits are set for optimum safety only? There can be death from a crash while moving at 55 MPH just as there can be at 70, 80, whatever. Also, on a road where people all travel at 10-15 over the limit, it's the person who's actually going the speed limit that's more of a safety hazard.
Honestly, it might be that I'm only 21, but when I make decisions, very rarely does the thought "wait, is this legal?" cross my mind. I take speed limits more as suggestions and really only tolerate them when I know police are around. If radar detectors weren't so hard to come by in VA (illegal), I'd already have one hard-wired in my car.

fair enough, i do agree that any speed is dangerous, highway speeds are just as dangerous. what can ya do? I just prefer to not do 90 on the highway. I make it a point to obey the posted limits because if i dont, then i am a hypocrite for ticketing those that dont.

It's more of the system that I don't care for. The hypocrisy already exists and is built in. Example: why are many highways posted at 70 MPH and some are 55? Same number of lanes, and hell, same traffic patterns. But why should I get a ticket for moving at 70 MPH in a 55 when it's still considered safe to drive 70 in a 70?
