I know some of you had good intentions with your suggestions on "getting out of it" but I'm not interested, thanks anyway. I knew I was speeding, I knew on that road there was a chance of getting caught, I took the chance anyway. Chances are the points won't hit my license and my insurance company will never know.

Why don't you just send them a check everytime you speed then? Why make them go through the trouble of writing you a ticket when you already know you were speeding?
I'm just being sarcastic there. My real point is that most people realize that speeding tickets are just revenue streams for the goverment. It's a money game to the state. The whole reason why you can get out of the tickets in court is becuase it makes the state more money. They don't really care about safety or they'd concentrate on unsafe driving. It's been proven in study after study that higher highway speeds are not significantly more unsafe than the current speed limits. Just look at the autobahn. Americans are not required to demonstrate an adequete driving skillset to maintain a license. That's what really makes driving dangerous in america.
