IMO the DPS guys need to spend more time on addressing the rage driving issues instead of making people who are going the speed limit get out of their way so they can speed.

Hear, hear! If the speed limits are set too low, well, we have a democratic Republic; they can be changed. Ignoring the speed limit is not an option.

Actually, it sort of is. I have several friends that are cops. Even on surface streets they say they don't pull you over unless you are doing ten over. That is, unless you are a kid and they have other motives. 8^>

I agree. Ignoring the speed limit is not an option but a requirement on many roads. When it's clearly safe to go 10 or 15 mph faster than the posted limit, and most drivers are doing so, someone sanctimoniously playing traffic cop is creating a dangerous situation.
