Don't tell me they can't afford it. I won't. That's not the problem. The problem is that any police activity brings traffic to a stop and there is a public cost to that. Also, many of the highways around here no longer have shoulders, which have been converted into traffic lanes, so there's no place to pull anyone over. They have emergency numbers you can call if you see a really reckless driver, like maybe weaving in and out at 120, which I see every couple of trips, and they will enter the highway to find him. Anything less than that is considered safe enough, I guess. I don't think they have a real choice to ticket people like me who are just trying to go with the flow and keep out of trouble. I don't fault them for their policy. I only wish they would raise the speed limit so that respect for the law wouldn't be compromised. Karen
