"It is a simple fact that failing to obey the traffic laws puts your life in peril, it also places other drivers lives in jeopardy."

Oh really? Simple fact eh?

So, if I go 61 mph in a 60 mph zone, I am putting lives in peril, but if I go 60 every one is so much safer? After all, at 61 in a 60 zone I am failing to obey traffic laws. I mean, as you said, it "it is a simple fact".

Truth is, many speed limits are arbitrarily set. How many times have you seen a speed limit suddenly drop 10 MPH simply because you crossed a county line? I see it all the time. Same road, same conditions, just different politics.

This is not about safety, it is about milking the citizenry of as much of their hard earned cash as possible.

Continue on your legal slippery slope and have another drink before you drive for it will only increase your BAC by .2 percent.
