Speeding is the number one cause of traffic fatalities, not accidents, fatalities. Most posted speed limits are set around 20mph below what the condition of the road dictates- curves, visibility etc...
I wish that they would focus on gross violators: anyone going more 20 mph over the limit- treat it like they do a DUI. A "real" crime is one that ends in loss of life which speeding can very well do.
I agree that quotas are horrible... any ticket given in the spirit of a quota should be thrown out of court.
