There were 42,915 killed last year on US highways... and, most people believe that this was caused by driving faster than the posted speed limits. While we have a vast system of highway patrol officers patrolling our highways to keep drivers from speeding, there are simply not enough of them...
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, today's drivers don't give a rat's ass or a damn about following the posted speed limit signs.
These speeders are not just the young inexperienced drivers, but drivers who are middle-aged as well as senior citizens. These speeders are female as well as male, married as well as single, and are driving alone as well as with others including young, impressionable children.
In fact, it is not uncommon at all, the see a family in a van, SUV, or station wagon on vacation where the driver of the vehicle, male or female, is driving in excess of the speed limit to get to their destination as quick as they can.
People who are late for work or for a doctor's appointment try to make up time by speeding during rush hour. Actually, if you blend in with rush hour traffic most everyone is exceeding the posted speed limits in the morning as well as in the afternoon.
THE AMERICAN DRIVER WILL NOT REGULATE THEMSELVES...
