you got that right lol. i suppose some ppl do drive safer. but most ppl either dont care or just like you said.IMO they're just a way for the government to make more money, not the safety measure they're supposed to be.
its interesting becuse ive seen this myself recently. we had a streatch of highway being worked on. i understood the declined speed while the road crews were around. i mean some ppl are idiots and drive like a bat out of hell no matter what. but what got me, was that after the actual work was done. they kept the speed limit down. and ive seen more police with speed guns on that streatch of highway then i have the whole 10 years driving it! of course any fines double if your get busted within a work area here. but i mean a full month with no road crew in site and they are STILL out there. the sighns for road crew are STILL up. believe it or not i used to not be so pestimistic about stuff like this. but after time seeing it again and again, it changes your attitude.
