John Campbell comments on speeding

John Campbell writes:

Or perhaps better stated, when does 9 become 15 ? The answer, or so it seems, when driving in a posted speed zone. As a rule of thumb drivers tend to push the envelope because many feel that as long as I drive less than 10 mph above the posted speed zone I won't get pulled over by the "Five-O".

Columbia and Adair Co are sitting on a potential revenue barrel should the agencies choose to enforce the already written laws. Yet motorist push the sound barrier (tongue-in-cheek) as they zoom-zoom down the highway. This is especially dangerous to farmers on tractors, construction crews, motorcyclist, bicyclist, pedestrians, ect. not to mention the inexperienced and/or elderly (possibly handicapped) drivers whose reaction time isn't as quick as the Dale Earnhart, Jrs out here.

Two sayings I've heard over the years may certainly apply: #1 "if you can't run with the big dogs... stay on the porch" and #2 "it ain't against the law when the law ain't around". - John Campbell
