The major problem with that is that German U-boats were sinking our ships like there was no tomorrow. |

Seems to me the government is more likely to put up toll booths and increase gas taxes where you can collect revenue from every driver, not just the drivers you pull over.

55 is too slow. 60 is as low as I would go.

| ...the morbidly obese "Comic Book Guy" is driving a VW Bug and singing along with Sammy Hagar's "I can't drive 55" and adds "because it only goes to 38!" | |

Enforce the present law with officers who have the attitude of a Marine (or Army) DI. The non negotiable fine for the first offense is $100 for each mph over the limit as determined by the arresting officer. If caught again within a year the rate doubles. Driving is a privilege.
