    Not necessarily. I've gone through 35 states in the last 2 years driving 7,8,9 mph over and never been pulled over for speeding once. This includes South Carolina (which I happen to drive to at least 4 times a week).

    A little difference here. Speeding is a law already in effect. They are just upping the ante on fines. Owning a gun (at least in GA) is not against the law. I see where you were headed with that, though. Again, it's not your money so why worry about what someone else is spending their money on if they get caught speeding?

    The public tag line however, is the the troopers are "better trained"....which is true, but you see what I'm getting at. Sort of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.
    Yes, I knew that. I didn't state that "rule" as a matter of fact. It was a general one. Technically they can. Just the high majority don't worry about it. Later, QD.

    as long as you see where i was headed lol. i see your point as well. i just think the fines should of stayed the way they are and that it should be left up to the judge to decide the punishment.

    As I said, that's not my concern so I don't care how they deal punishment. Now if we were talking imprisonment, it would be an entirely different thing. I'd be on your side of "this isn't fair." But it's just raising fines, so it's not big deal. Later, QD.

    i just think if they are going to do this, they should raise the speed limit at least 5mph. then add the 5mph to how fast you have to be going for the SS law thing. get what i'm trying to say?

    I'm not saying that speeding is a horrible crime or anything, but how can it be justified? Later, QD.

    I always do the speed limit or a little under. I drive an old truck with no power, I'm not going to blow the mofo up just to keep up with traffic. Also, my speedometer is wrong because I have a different tire size from stock.

    I don't want to get pulled over for anything... a Woodstock city cop had my car towed one time because some bitch at my insurance company got one number on my VIN wrong. I got pulled over just because I had out-of-town plates and I was on Bells Ferry at 4:30 AM. After all that hassle, I haven't consciously broken a traffic law since, and I try to keep a low profile and not draw attention to myself.

    Also, theres almost always some fuckstick in a lifted truck tailgating me, then passing me on the right when there are 2 or more lanes open to the left. Most of the time these trucks have IA stickers. I don't see why these shitbirds have to drive 100mph all the time

    But yeah, anything that gets super-aggressive drivers off the roads is fine with me.
