I have heard most of my life about small towns with deputies out nailing folks for doing 1mph over the limit. I've never seen it, though. Has anyone here ever seen it? I don't mean heard a friend of a friend who knows someone who got a ticket for it. I have seen speed traps in a lot of places, but the only ones I have seen them cite are the ones who are passing everyone in sight and changing lanes constantly to do so.
I am all for enforcement of the speed limit for any and all who speed. Why else would we have the law? Isn't it intended to maintain the safest possible driving environment? Or should we just forget it and let everyone drive the speed they feel they are capable of and let every one fend for themselves on the roads?
I think the point is that those who choose to do 50-60mph in TV are posing a danger to all of us, and my wife and occasionally kids and grandkids are on these roads. Ask the ladies who were forced to run off the road on Canal St. and their families what they think.
