I get your point completely. But not all laws make sense - and that's not to say I have a better alternative.
If I receive a ticket for going 42 in a 30, 8pm on a pitch black night when it's -25º - where that 30 is a playground zone - I get frustrated because there's no way there are kids outside playing at that hour in that weather. 42 is not a crazy speed and as long as road conditions are dry, it bothers me that's what I get nailed for. Yes, 60 in a 30 is stupid. Yes 130 in a 110 is pushing it. But there should be times where common sense should prevail. And because it won't, I'd love a way to know when I'm about to be targeted. I look for speed traps anyway - having a system automatically alert me seems safer than constantly being slightly distracted...
