Of course, setting more realistic speed limits will also reduce speeding
tickets.  Most highway speed limits in the US are unreasonably low,
especially out west.  But reducing speeding tickets reduces speeding
ticket revenues ....  if no traffic violations were committed in the US
for an entire year, MANY townships and jurisdictions would either go
broke or be forced to invent new ones.
