Here in Washington one of their favorite tricks is to set up speed traps on our freeways very early on weekend mornings. Saturday and Sunday, when even our normally congested freeways are almost completely devoid of traffic. Wide open, flowing freeways of three or four or more lanes, with no traffic on them. So, of course, drivers feel safe exceeding our 60 mph limit. These freeways were built for 70 mph traffic in the '50's and '60's. 60 years later, in far safer, far more capable cars, everyone feels safe going a bit faster, and many take the opportunity to do so on these vacant roads. And they get nailed for it. Ca-ching, ca-ching. Yet the crappy drivers, tailgating, weaving, cutting people off when the freeways have a bit more traffic on them carry on unabated. The enforcement targets what pays, not what is dangerous.
