I have to admit seeing Rusty whine about speeding tickets gives me a little schadenfreude.

Unfortunately, most of the revenue goes to the insurance companies. At least around here in Mass, the infractions stay on your record for 7 years. That's 7 years the insurance company gets to collect more money.

I see cars patrolling Route 11 going between Guilford and Alton all the time. And the speed limit changes quite a bit on that road.
