Every ticket i have ever gotten was on a highway with smooth traffic in an area where no problems or wrecks have happened and not on the same road each time either, but as soon as you get near a city or area with crazy traffic and dangerous situations there isn't a cop to be seen so it only shows me if the state (any state) would spend as much time and effort and $ in not catching speeders but in lets say catching criminals, drug dealers, murderers, rapists and so on it would make the city/town's much safer for everyone. But doing that cost the state more $$ with hardly any return. sorry didn't mean to get on that tangent. It wasn't directed at anyone here i promise. I just hate getting tickets for nothing dangerous or unlawful and paying the payroll of the judges and cops. I thought our taxes were supposed to
