a return to federally mandated 55MPH on highways?

[lt14mla]

idk if anyone noticed last week but the state police set up a ticket blitz on on the highways. pullin people over for 5mph over, and other very insignificant infractions, as well as major ones. I've even seen some pretty tricky camera setups, radar setups before that boggled my mind. The government is gonna try and put its foot down one way. It just sucks. I drive for my job, so thankfully I caught word of this, through family officers . I personally speed, and alot too! But even if feds don't mandate it, you'll always have the cops there mandating the listed mph limit.

how else to you expect to punish bad behavior? a slap on the wrist and a hand in your wallet. eventually, people will learn.

well, yeah, the states have rights, as long as they buckle under the fed's pressure by using "highway dollars" as the pressure point. i think some states did ignore the feds, but they have the money to be able to do that. NJ would never give up their fed dollars, no matter what. they overspend as it is, there is no need to make the hole any bigger by not accepting free money from the fed...

That doesn't always work, especially on people who have the money to do things on the whim.

and those people typically ride around in lamborghinis, ferraris, mercedes and the like... they could care less about a $100 speeding ticket. to them, that's like a one dollar bill.

i've been seeing an increasing number of gallardos on the street. to the point where i was wondering if lambo was giving them away for free. different colors is the only way i know it's not the same car in different spots.

It really doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, although its usually a good indication, but I am just trying to say that if you have the money, its not much of a punishment.

hahahaa.....only soo many tickets can be taken before your license is taken....i learned that real quick. no one is immune to the law.
