Have you gotten a speeding ticket yet?

If you haven't received your award yet, claim your prize at your local police station. We have tolerated this nonsense about speed limits for way too long. What was it like before 1974 during the so called "energy crisis?" Was there actually an energy crisis or mass hysteria fed by the liberal media? I would not really know because I did not live in those times. However what I do know is that the mandate for speed limits proved to be another control plot to take some of our freedoms on the highway away. (Just recently they took our cell phone rights away.) Sure you got those citizens that want to say that the speed limit was enacted to "conserve energy" and to save lives. Yes, maybe it was enacted to temporarily relieve the energy crunch we may have had, but as for saving lives I beg to differ. After the "energy crisis" seem to dissolve itself the speed limits remained. Why? To improve traffic safety was their reason, although it proved that the scientific studies proved to be contrary. In 1995, Congress finally repealed the 55 mph limit and gave the states the rights to set the speed limit. What we have to question is, did a lower speed limit help reduce speeding? You can be the judge of that. Have you not speed in some ridiculously low speed limit area only to have a cop waiting for you at the end of the curb? You can bet your next ticket that speeding violations generate a massive amount of revenue for the state, thus they are less likely to want a ban on speed limits. Do you think your freedom has been run over yet?
