Speeding tickets are an $8 billion per year industry.

Reason: it is a very easy metric to prove with highly calibrated instruments. If caught, you have very little to stand on.

Why aren't there more distracted driving tickets? Very hard to catch or prove, especially in a mass quantity. This is the challenge that law enforcement has to undertake.

If safety was truly an issue, more focus would be placed on rigorous license requirements and continual testing. However, our society is based on the automobile and denying someone a license is a huge limitation on their lives. It's really a catch 22

The only true answer is autonomous cars, they will safely go over 100mph, reduced safety features required = lighter cars = better fuel consumption.

If speed truly killed, we would die every time we stepped on an airplane. Reason we don't? Highly trained operators are in control. It's not the speed that kills, it's the sudden stop. Lets focus on preventing unplanned sudden stops due to lack of driver skill or attention.
