I'll have to get back to you on this one. I need to go figure out how extracting $275 from me for going 5 over is "protecting and serving" me.... 10 over - ticket. Any less? hmmmmm
Um, because "10 over" is breaking the law -- you're being a dangerous driver to those around you regardless of what YOU think your capacity is for driving that speed.
These can both be argued to no end...but this is just another one of those threads. Neighborhoods, definitely don't speed, school zones - heck no. In general in town I don't speed at all. Now headed out of town on a highway that is nice and open road, sure I've been known to speed occasionally, but I still get passed like I'm standing still at times.
I don't think it's the driver's capacity or ability, I know it is. I'd also add it has to do with the car. Is it a clunker or is it up to date, brakes good, tires good etc.? following distances from cars in front? These are all driving 101, but are lost on many of the drivers here.
If I go 5 over here or there I'm okay not winning the model citizen of the year award
