Won’t that cut into speeding ticket revenue?
Yes, but gas tax revenue will go up as gas mileage decreases with increased speeds, one would hope.
Not necessarily. They'll just enforce all the others more vigorously. They do that in Montana. The interstate speed limit is 75 MPH here, but they can stop you for other violations like a busted lights, cracked windshield or not wearing seat belts, and many municipalities are passing cellphone laws.
Wont that cut into speeding ticket revenue?
Certainly not. Most are traveling over the limit now. With a 70 mph posted limit, there will be those that push that limit as always. 75 or 80; it’s just a few miles over the limit so I’ll push it a bit. If VA posted it to 80 mph, there would be those that would justify 85 mph because it was just over the limit. And so it goes, until one of those fools decides by common practice to do so in a dense fog and smacks the back end of a 62 mph truck like mine.
I just hate it when I have to spray the back of my trailer to remove the flesh and broken glass. Delays my trip don’t ya know.
