Super Speeder Law

[tdurr]

i have to beg to differ on this. people that are speeding usually are not aware of their speed. because of the cell phone and etc. i have yet to really see someone speeding that isnt on the phone or playing with themselves or something else. people that are aware of how they are driving are the ones driving the speed limit. you have it ass backwards.

you sir, have it ass backwards. I know plenty of ppl who drive over the limit in the fast lane who 80-95% of the time dont text/eat/ect. Hell im always in the fast lane going 65-75 and im having to dodge the slow unaware drivers all the fucking time. ppl try and merge into me and shit. They ride in the fast lane doing the exact speed limit getting passed by ppl in the slow lane. Shit is annoying. Ill fucking blow past them and give em the stink eye and blow off so they look at me passing their slow ass and get the fuck outta the fast lane.

hell.. i need one of those windshield banners that says move over.

I tend to agree with the law, however, i do have some issues with it. Over time, i can see how this "super speeder" stuff could bleed over into normal speeding violations - as tends to happen to laws in general.

Good intentions to start out with. (funding hospital's ERs or whatever, great, awesome, wonderful! *yay!*) that's how the state gets the publics approval - then eventually it turns into something nobody intended after the state gets used to having the income - like an extra Violation Fee tacked on to every traffic ticket processed.


Aren't traffic tickets supposed to be the deterrent from excessive speed? Now that the state legislature has gotten used to having the income, through fines and whatnot, it has decided that the top 3% (example) of all speeders need to have a much higher fine (tax) than the other 97% in order to increase the states revenue. This seems, in my opinion, to go against the spirit of traffic laws in their entirety.

I can see suits being filed on the basis of "profiling" (another example of a well intended law that's gotten out of hand) - harrassment - as well as unconstitutional taxes. Which i think someone brought up before hand. In my opinion; if this law is to work (work = get people to slow down. which should be the entire reason for a speeding ticket in the first place, but apparently not this time), it will need to be enforced EXACTING to the guidelines laid down with zero tolerance so it can be "fair" to everyone caught red handed.
