And you would be wrong. Sorry

I don't have to drive that much anymore but I have in the past been a long distance commuter. Trust me when I tell you that the odds of the day you drift up in speed to 75-80 MPH it's nice to have a radar detector bleep at you so you avoid the stray ticket. It's not some extreme desire to play race car driver. I can assure you some many of the lakes region long distance commuters who may read this will understand how easy it is to have a speed zone change and bam, ticket.

And the states LOVE speeding as they generate revenue out the fines they collect and the cops use it as a way to justify their expenses. Without speeding tickets your police departments would probably have less officers and less equipment. You should thank them
