The way I see it, most cops are located in places where speeding can be dangerous, and give out tickets to prevent accidents. So for my own safety (and other drivers) i'll slow down.

Unforntunately local governments factor fines into their budget so they end up setting the speed limits in various areas lower than any engineering reason, etc. really requires just so that people will end up speeding there.
Many of the speed limits are set largely with the intent of seperating some poor bastard from his cash.
