I hate that kind of thing. I'm proud to say I haven't written a single speeding ticket this year.

To be fair.. I don't think cops down here would either. It's all the hidden fixed speed camera crap that we end up cursing to high heaven down here :P

Do you guys have those revenue, er safety devices over there too?

I'm not aware of any in Indiana. Not sure of other states. I know there's some cities that have cameras to capture stop-light violators.

We've trained a generation of drivers to believe that you are driving safely if you are under the speed limit. I remember signs saying "If you're under 100, you're OK" or something very like it. This was in winter on a highway that is known for black ice. So people drive at the limit no matter what the conditions are - fog, heavy rain, ice, snow, kangaroo time, ... It's illegal to drive safely. You are required to drive legally.
