Speeding is not a crime. When I go in to pay a speeding ticket I say "hi, I'm here to pay my getting there faster tax."

"Speeding is not a crime" Thanks for confirming that you are not a serious person who wishes to put forward a serious argument.

Have a nice day! Please don't drink and drive...

In many places, most of USA I think, speeding is a civil offense not a criminal offense. DWI is a criminal offense.

Depends on how fast you're going. Above a certain speed it's reckless driving which is a misdemeanor offense.

So, if it's not reckless or endangering to speed just a little bit, then the law is a bunch of bs.

it's just a sin tax.

I've lived all over the USA and speed limits vary a lot as does the behavior of drivers.

Where I live now all the speed limits are 10-20 mph slower than down in Texas for example. Modem cars handle high speeds very well. During the summer to here you could safely drive these roads much faster than the posted speed limit. But it also snows up here. During the winter it would often actually be quite reckless to drive the posted speed limit because of the slippery road conditions.
