Right, I agree.

Sure we do. Many people choose to not follow more rules as others, and thats 
why the jails are full.

Well, I can live and sleep well with speeding, plenty fine. Its another one of 
those laws designed to protest us and only turns out to be a way to produce 
revenue for the city/state. I feel you should be able to drive whatever speed 
you want, as long as traffic and weather conditions permit it. The problems 
with that are there are people who are simply incapable and/or not responsible 
enough to do it safely.
Its just another way big bro is dipping their fingers to our pockets. Its 
kinda like the helmet law here in Ca. So what. There are more car-car 
accidents where people are hurt with head injurys, why not make us wear 
helmets too? Why not get rid of the dangerous shoulder belt and make us wear a 
Schroth type system? Baby seats have them, why dont we have em' too? 
This can just go on and on. :)  It really never ends, so the bottom line is 
you simply got to be responsible for yourself and your actions. (Kinda like 
what your saying.)
