Merit Based Speeding

42 million speeding tickets are given out every year in the United States. That is roughly $6.2 Billion in revenue each year. Tickets are handed out to drivers generally based on the idea that speeding decreases the safety of everyone on the road. Implying that speeding drivers are more dangerous, and the tickets are supposed to incentivize safer driving behaviors. But it is commonly known that small towns give out more tickets than warnings to raise money for the local government.

But speeding isn’t inherently dangerous. And doesn’t necessarily decrease the safety of others around them. Driving dangerously is dangerous.
