I have to interject here, and I'm sure Blue will too. If you've seen the kind of accidents, many of them fatal, caused by "a little bit of speed", you might reconsider. Then again, you probably wouldn't. The facts, since you like to play with those, show that speed enforcement does in fact save lives. It just so happens to generate revenue as well. Yes, its an inconvenience and a trifle for those who are pulled over between 1-5 mph over. That's irrelevant. Even if an accident isn't fatal, it can cause lasting damage all the same.

It is true that accidents will be caused by going the limit or going under as well; hence the term accident. But negligently speeding simply increased the odds. Outdated speed limits or not...if the majority of traffic is going the limit, and the at-fault is not...it doesn't matter how out-dated the speed limit is. He's still at-fault, and he was still speeding.
