Meantime, as far as a "cash cow" is concerned, there is no cash cow for whatever governmental agency is responsible for enforcing the speed limit restrictions, so long as we obey the speed limit! Kind of a simple solution, wouldn't you say? I remember years ago reading one person's posting on the subject in which she swore that she was specifically targeted as a snowbird (that is, based on the out-of-state tags on her vehicle). Never once did she consider the possibility that SHE was in any way responsible for that ticket by virtue of her choosing to speed through that school zone....
I agree with Twinklesweep.

I have lived to see every tenet I have ever believed in questioned.

It is a school zone. Kids. Slow down. Simple. Easy peasy. Chill.

Your headers are attention getting, I'll give you that.
