I don't know, I wish that the police officers would spend a little more time ticketing folks driving unsafely and not just disobeying an arbitrary speed limit......Drining while wearing headphones, no headlights or brakelights, and running red lights and stop signs are all common here...and I see it happen right in front of police officers all the time and the miscreants are never stopped. I see people weaving all over the road or stopping in the middle of the road or at a green light because they are using a cell phone (apparently inhibits brain function). Turn signals seem nonexistant! I certainly understand low speed limits and strict enforcement in subdivisions or around schools, but not elsewhere. It sees that in many places, even on bases like Ramstein, there are long stretches of seeming well built, relatively untravelled road with set speed limits of between 25 and 35 which would certainly be safe at 55. That is where one will always see speed traps. Typically not where a slow speed would enhance safety a bit like near a school...only where a ticket can be written. I guess whether or not the cop is a "dick" depends on his/or discretion about writing tickets or where/when they set up speed traps. I imagine that some officers do not have latitude in this regard.
