Ideally they should, yes, but the problem is that you have a much, much bigger pool of people to fight against changes in law enforcement with respect to most vehicles.
Most states, I imagine, have a "reckless driving" statute that does most of what you describe: imprisonment, impound, heavy fines, and so on. In SC, doing 25+ over the limit automatically triggers a "reckless endangerment" charge when you're pulled over. Reckless endangerment entails a minimum of overnight jailing, vehicle impounding, and an enormous fine ($2k+?) and 90 day suspension of license on conviction. I think that a statute like that, which simply establishes a threshold over the set speed limit, is better than a statute that sets a specific speed to trigger the penalties. -Kurt On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 1:07 PM, sfox618 <[email protected]> wrote: > > What strikes me about this article, and most of the ones like this, is > that they talk about restricting / changing the law for Motorcycles > but not cars.
