Re: ANyone know what happened in 66 tonight?
ya cause dick head cops sit out there and ticket people all day long....causing a bit of anxiety for some drivers who don't want to be caught speeding, especially those who have been ticketed before. Then, there are some people who weave in and out of traffic, at higher speeds, and 'aggressively drive'. The combination of the two is what causes many highway accidents.
If speed limits were realistic..and then adequately enforced..there'd be alot less accidents on highways. Also, if people didn't lose their liscense (Double Jeopardy) from the DMV when they got speeding tickets(Or raised insurance rates, triple jeopardy*), people would be much more at ease about driving where cops are known to hang out. People shouldn't be so wreckless, weaving in and out of traffic and such, but at the same time, speed limits in some areas need raised. I think all in all it would cause less problems.
*It's a requirement to have insurance on all vehicles in the state of Virginia, except when an owner chooses to pay a Non Insured Motorist Fee, and they can only do this if they don't have a lien on the automobile.
