There are those that believe that speed zones and speed limits in
general were created for no other reason than to create enforcement
actions and produce revenue (in the form of speeding tickets)...
I always thought the 55 mph speed limit was a result of insurance
company lobbying. After all, the energy of a collision impact is
reduced by the *square* of the relative velocity of the automobiles
involved.
Also -- and this is important -- Any "moving violation" (exceeding the
speed limit) gives the insurance companies an excuse to raise your rates
through the roof, because you are a "bad driver".
What insurance company do you use? Mine have never even asked.

They don't have to ask, it is public information available from your state
DMV.


They've never raised my rates, either.
