Okay, fine.  Here's my question to you.

Who's more dangerous, given a highway with a 55 mph speed limit and moderate traffic?

1.  The guy who's going 70.
2.  The guy who's going 90.

You see what I'm getting at?  One guy gets a speeding ticket, the other one gets nailed
for reckless driving -- and justifiably so.

My personal belief is that the speed limit is set low so that you can pull virtually
anyone over if you think something funny's going on.  And that's all fine.  I can live
with that.  But it's not a safety issue like many would say.

The law changed, so one day I was a bad boy, and the next day the exact same thing was
good.
