30mph would also include a loss of license. I think the limit is 25mph in Iowa.I can't disagree with this argument more. A device that is designed to enforce speed limits has nothing to do with safety? That is wild you could think that. Are there places that have decided to create "speed traps" as others call them, sure. How can you call them speed traps, though? If you just drive under the limit, you won't have a problem.
Based on how lopsided the vote was in the Legislature, I'm obviously in the small minority that believes there are too many menaces on the road. A bunch of us got passed on I-35 South last week by someone going around 100 and using the right shoulder as a lane, right before entering the construction zone. Based on the lack of patrol vehicles I passed during the next few miles, I'm assuming that person got away scot-free. A camera could have helped here. Also, the fines for speeding are ridiculously low. You can drive 30mph over the limit and your fine would only be $150. No wonder that everyone drives recklessly.
There also seems to be far less patrol cars out then there used to be. Other states seem to patrol much more.
