You hit a key element here. When many of these bills are passed the
"opposition" party talks like they are against them but if/when they
get in a position to get rid of such laws that virtually never do.
They are all in bed together. The fact that they keep these laws
shows their true colors.

Not only that, but the additional fine is not collected at the
courthouse. Instead, the offender gets a notice from the state to pay
up or else. I look for a lot of local yokel cops to be writing tickets
for 74MPH or 84MPH as appropriate in the comming months...

I wasn't being serious, just pointing out the absurdity of the 'safety'
excuse. Of course it is about the money. If the regular speeding fine is
roughly $100 it stays under the 'hire a lawyer' threshold.

That's why i say skip the jail and raise the fines and hit them with loss
of license. Stop coddling these killers.

So let's hit them with big license suspensions. Say one month per excessive
mph starting at 10 over the limit. So someone caught doing 86 in a 65
would lose their license for 86-75 = 11 months.

One more thing. Make extreme speeding a felony. Say 20+ over the limit.
Nobody likes a felony on their resume.

Why 20MPH over? Why not 15MPH over, criminal coddler?

Yes, but never deliberately. In fact i got a speeding ticket about 5

That's sixteen over! The horror of it all! SFB should be still rotting
in jail as it decrees?
