The good thing we have going for us in Texas is that the posted speed limit, by law, is only the "presumed safe driving speed limit". The presumption can sway things both ways. If there is heavy rain or ice on the roadways the safe limit can be much lower. On a bright, dry Sunday morning with no other traffic present, one could sucessfully argue that the presumed safe driving speed is higher than the posted limit. Not that I'd like to go to the hassle of testing that argument mind you.
Unfortunately doesn't seem to apply much anymore.

The whole speed thing is a joke. The only reason there are posted speed limits is for the IDIOTS out there that can't drive, Try telling me the skill level is the same for 2 people doing 10 mph over, Dale Jr. and a 16 year old on the phone while driving with a boom box on and 3 other girls in the car !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your driving speed should be set by your skill level, just like your credit score is set by how well you pay your bills. My $.02
Why do I have visions of a bunch of people driving around at 12mph based on their skill level

As for writing tickets to raise money, for each ticket our agency writes our department gets a hole $3 bucks. The rest goes to your judges and the county. So maybe you should change it from buying HS jerseys to judges robes.
