RAISE THE SPEED LIMIT - WE AIN'T KILLED ENOUGH PEOPLE

There's an article from New Hampshire about a novel way to help people not get tickets for speeding. (Click on the header.)
A guy named Larry Lemay has come up with a solution both new and different. It makes sense to him, anyway.
I remember when it was common to see signs all over stating "Speed Kills".
My high school Driver's Ed teacher had a saying (although like most teen agers we kind of ignored it): "We have 100 mile an hour cars, 65 mile an hour highways and 25 mile an hour brains."
The only thing that hasn't changed in his remark is the speed of our brains.
I read a column that stated that more than 1,250,000 people were killed every year on our high speed highways. Shucks, that's more than we have had killed in Iraq.
