Honestly, speeders are the most dangerous people im around on a daily basis. While I don't agree with most people being punished for their money, how else can we enforce the speed limits?

All the speeders are downvoting you. But you’re right. Just go the fucking speed limit. It’s not there just to piss you off, it helps manage traffic congestion, limits noise pollution, and increases safety. Enforcement is a joke in the US and it really shows. A large majority of those on the road are absolutely terrible drivers. However, better driver education and regulation would be a better place to start than enforcement. It’s ridiculous that we do drivers ed once when we’re teenagers and never have to take classes or driving tests ever again.
