Arrow Fines for what

They are simply using police to collect taxes.

So it's time for the good people of NH to step up to the plate and demand higher speed limits on the interstates. The present system of 55/65 is a holdover from a deal made a long time ago when the Federal Gov't set the speed limits. One good thing Clinton did was to rescind that law. So if we want high fines for truly "bad" behavior then set the limits to what's truly "bad". NH has that power. It would be interesting to see the debate since nobody does 65 on I93.
