i don't mind speed limits but i do wish that police used discretion when giving speeding tickets. if I was driving 200mph on a straight open road, or in any situation in which it was safe to do so, police should not give a ticket. they should be punishing the tailgaters, the people who attempt dangerous manuvers in traffic, etc. the essence of the speed limit is to make it very easy for a police officer to stop a person driving wrecklessly, because they are likely going faster than these typically-low speed limits. use some discretion, that's all.
