That would require folks to be courtious, a trend that went out of style
in the late 50's.
I'd bet there are a few folks here that would have picked themselves up
off the floor had they:
1) Been rude to an adult in front of Mom or Dad
2) Spoken back to a parent, right or wrong.
3) Corrected a Parent, Right or Wrong
When I was a young lad, my dad brought me to school one morning after I
had been kept after school.
"Why did you keep Peter after school?" He said to my Male teacher who we
were all afraid of as he had been mildly disfigured in the South Pacific.
"He was talking in class" said the Teacher.
"Well, I want him to walk home { 1 & 1/2 mile uphill both ways} with his
friends. Next time, put a mark on him where it shows and I'll correct
the problem when he gets home!"

Good point - when they drive the speed limit it creates a rolling road
block that hampers traffic.
Speaking of traffic laws, if there's one law that I'd like to see
enforced better it would be making people move over after passing.
The passing lanes are for passing, not driving the same speed as the
guy in the right lane.
Obviously, when there are 3,4 or more lanes in each direction I'd like
to see every other lane designated as a passing lane - and when
traffic is extremely heavy, all lanes could be used to keep traffic
moving - but when it clears out, go back to using the left lane for
passing.
Rant off. ;-)

I say let them speed..better than pulling me over for going 75. And
when they do not speed, traffic piles up behind them and everyone
takes off again when the police exit the hightway.

That's the statutory language here in Michigan, but persecutors and
law enforcement workers don't obey laws, so statute doesn't matter.
They'll just tell you "he was in a marked car, so laws don't apply
to him".
I personally know a state police lieutenant (former state highway
trooper) who jumped all over a trooper for pulling him over when he
was doing 95 in a 70 zone in a state motor pool car (not even an
unmarked squad). If I were the trooper that he mistreated, I would
have arrested him for reckless driving and refused to back down.
"Professional Courtesy" goes both ways, if you aren't courteous,
you should forfeit any 'right' you had to claim it.
